Better to die ten thousand deaths, Than wound my honour.

Joseph Addison

I would rather die a thousand deaths than surrender.

Robert E. Lee

I came to believe it not true that "the coward dies a thousand deaths, the brave man only one." I think it is the other way around: It is the brave who die a thousand deaths. For it is imagination, and not just conscience, which doth make cowards of us all. Those who do not know fear are not truly brave.

Leo Rosten

It is better to be on hand with ten men than absent with ten thousand.

Timur

Cowards die a thousand deaths, but the brave only die once.

Ernest Hemingway

A thousand acres that can feed a thousand souls is better than ten thousand acres of no more effect.

William Petty

There is more than one kind of death? (Kat) Yes. Cowards aren’t the only ones who die a thousand deaths. Sometimes heroes do, too. (Sin)

Sherrilyn Kenyon

Sir, if you think that I am that kind of a man, you have missed your mark. I would rather die a thousand deaths than betray a friend or be false to duty.

Sam Davis

There is nothing about which I am more anxious than my country, and for its sake I am willing to die ten deaths, if that be possible.

Elizabeth I

Those who live in fear die a thousand deaths.

George S. Patton

To become a chess grandmaster also seems to take about ten years. (Only the legendary Bobby Fisher got to that elite level in less than that amount of time: it took him nine years.) And what's ten years? Well, it's roughly how long it takes to put in ten thousand hours of hard practice. Ten thousand hours is the magic number of greatness.

Malcolm Gladwell

Better than a thousand hollow words Is one word that brings peace. Better than a thousand hollow verses Is one verse that brings peace. Better than a hundred hollow lines Is one line of the dharma, bringing peace. It is better to conquer yourself Than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, Not by angels or by demons, Heaven or hell.

Gautama Buddha

Better the illusions that exalt us than ten thousand truths.

Alexander Pushkin

The human brain cannot release enough neurotransmitters to feel emotion a thousand times as strong as the grief of one funeral. A prospective risk going from 10,000,000 deaths to 100,000,000 deaths does not multiply by ten the strength of our determination to stop it. It adds one more zero on paper for our eyes to glaze over.

Eliezer Yudkowsky

It is probably well on the conservative side to estimate that during the past ten to fifteen years the camera has destroyed a thousand pairs of eyes, corrupted ten thousand, and seriously deceived a hundred thousand, for every one pair that it has opened, and taught.

James Agee

Walking around with less than ten thousand dollars is completely unacceptable. It's a necessity of life. It gives you freedom. The most important thing in life is a sense of possibility, and you simply can't have it with less than ten thousand dollars in your pocket.
