The man dies in all who keep silent in the face of tyranny.

Wole Soyinka

Do not keep silent when your own ideas and values are being attacked. If a dictatorship ever comes to this country, it will be by the fault of those who keep silent. We are still free enough to speak. Do we have time? No one can tell.

Ayn Rand

And then his noise falls completely silent- And he stops struggling- And looking right into my eyes- He dies. My Todd dies.

Patrick Ness

Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.

Anais Nin

He who is silent and bows his head dies every time he does so. He who speaks aloud and walks with his head held high dies only once.

Giovanni Falcone

Every time a man dies, a child dies too, and an adolescent and a young man as well; everyone weeps for the one who was dear to him.

Simone de Beauvoir

Happy is the man who knows or even the man who remembers those silent vigils where silence itself was the sign of the communion of souls!

Gaston Bachelard

Sometimes I am God, if I say a man dies, he dies that same day.

Pablo Escobar

When a man dies, he does not just die of the disease he has: he dies of his whole life.

Charles Peguy

My parents never had any money. It was cash flow. It flows, and you got your fingers in it for a little while, and it flows away. That's all I know about money. And I don't know, it flows and it's a river, but you can never, ever keep it. As an artist, I can't keep it. But hey, a man who dies with a cent in the bank is a foolish man. So I guess I'm going against the conservators. I'm a spendthrift.

Dan Aykroyd

Right now I'm the most famous silent movie actress in the world and I want to keep that for me. So I hope there's not going to be any other silent movies.

Berenice Bejo

The man who dies rich, dies in disgrace.

Tom Hunter

The man who dies rich, dies disgraced.

Andrew Carnegie

Buffett, when he gave away his money, referenced Carnegie. He quoted from Carnegie. When he said, "The man who dies rich dies disgraced," in the 1880s, his fellow millionaires looked on him like he was a lunatic, you know, an idiot, a mad man.

David Nasaw

Those who kept silent yesterday will remain silent tomorrow.

Elie Wiesel

A man dies when he refuses to stand up for that which is right. A man dies when he refuses to stand up for justice. A man dies when he refuses to take a stand for that which is true.

Martin Luther King, Jr.
