I would rather die standing than live kneeling

Charb

In my church body, there is a ton of standing, sitting, and kneeling during worship. We're always on the move, kneeling for the confession of sins, bowing toward the processional cross, and always standing at the mention of the Triune God.

Mollie Hemingway

Better that we should die fighting than be outraged and dishonored... Better to die than to live in slavery.

Emmeline Pankhurst

I prefer to die standing than to live on my knees.

Charb

I'd rather die standing than live on my knees.

Shania Twain

I'd rather die on an adventure than live standing still.

V. E. Schwab

Where is it I've read that someone condemned to death says or thinks, an hour before his death, that if he had to live on some high rock, on such a narrow ledge that he'd only room to stand, and the ocean, everlasting darkness, everlasting solitude, everlasting tempest around him, if he had to remain standing on a square yard of space all his life, a thousand years, eternity, it were better to live so than to die at once. Only to live, to live and live! Life, whatever it may be!

Fyodor Dostoevsky

Better to live or die, once and for all, than die by inches.

Homer

Better to love God and die unknown than to love the world and bea hero; better to be content with poverty than to die a slave towealth; better to have taken some risks and lost than to havedone nothing and succeeded at it.

Erwin W. Lutzer

Live Free or Die Hard may work better for an audience that doesn't know much about the series is than it will for Die Hard die hards, who will be wondering who that impersonator is and what he did with the real John McClane. The original Die Hard came out of nowhere to blitz the 1988 summer box office. The fourth installment arrives with a weight of expectations that Atlas would have trouble shouldering and, when the dust settles in September, it's unlikely that Live Free or Die Hard will be one of this year's big success stories.

James Berardinelli

You know i was just thinking that it's better to die trying [to live your bravest dream] than to live sleeping.

Robin Sharma

I live to die; better that than to live a lie.

Vince Staples

A lot of kneeling keeps one in good standing.

Barbara Johnson

I am not afraid of retaliations. I don't have kids. I don't have a wife, no car, no credit. It may seem pompous, but I'd rather die standing than live on my knees.

Charb

You had better all die - die immediately, than live as slaves and entail your wretchedness upon your posterity.

Henry Highland Garnet

... it is better to study how to live rather than how to die; ... it is better to have a religion of deeds rather than a religion of creeds; ... it is better to work for humanity than for God.

Voltairine de Cleyre
