I am prepared to die, but there is no cause for which I am prepared to kill.

Mahatma Gandhi

Those who are prepared to die are most prepared to live.

James M. Barrie

To die for a cause is insanity; man's greatest cause is to live; his biggest purpose is to stay alive! Only fools die for a cause! Which cause can be superior to man's life?

Mehmet Murat Ildan

I find it incredibly romantic that people should fight for a cause they believe in and be prepared to die for it.

James D'arcy

There has seldom if ever a shortage of eager young males prepared to kill and die to preserve the security, comfort and prejudices of their elders, and what you call heroism is just an expression of this simple fact; there is never a scarcity of idiots.

Iain Banks

The dead-enders are still with us, those remnants of the defeated regimes who'll go on fighting long after their cause is lost.

Donald Rumsfeld

I had rather be defeated in a cause that will ultimately triumph than triumph in a cause that will ultimately be defeated.

Woodrow Wilson

On your principles, you should never yield; you should be prepared to be defeated. Nobody likes to be defeated, but you should let everybody know in the most articulate and thoughtful and civil way you can (you don't go out and pick fights with people) that in certain matters that you define as matters of principle you will not budge, you cannot yield, you will not compromise. If you don't have the votes or the winning argument, then you stand to be defeated and rolled over, and you'll just have to come back another day.

Jesse Helms

Fear prophets and those prepared to die for the truth, for as a rule they make many others die with them, often before them, at times instead of them.

Umberto Eco

Seldom, very seldom, does complete truth belong to any human disclosure; seldom can it happen that something is not a little disguised, or a little mistaken.

Jane Austen

Those prepared to give their lives in freedom's cause, come over to me.

William B. Travis

To die in the act of killing is, in essence, to die defeated.

Mahatma Gandhi

Supposing I live, I have got a work to do; and if I die, I shall still be engaged in the cause of Zion . . . If we live, we live to God; and if we die, we die to God; and we are God's, any way.

John Taylor

Never admit defeat and ask for a quick death! Die first, then admit defeat! If you are defeated but didn't die, it just means you were lucky! At those times, think only about survival! Survive and think only about killing the one who failed to kill you!
