A Quote by George S. Patton

Those who live in fear die a thousand deaths. — © George S. Patton
Those who live in fear die a thousand deaths.
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.
The richness of human life is that we have many lives, we live the events that do not happen (and some that cannot) as vividly as those that do, and if thereby we die a thousand deaths, that is the price we pay...
True it is that each of us has only one life - but how many of us 'die a thousand deaths' in fear and nervousness!
Cowards die a thousand deaths, but the brave only die once.
I would rather die a thousand deaths than surrender.
Better to die ten thousand deaths than wound my honor.
Better to die ten thousand deaths, Than wound my honour.
There is nothing left for me to do but to go and see General Grant and I would rather die a thousand deaths.
There is in me an anarchy and frightful disorder. Creating makes me die a thousand deaths, because it means making order, and my entire being rebels against order. But without it I would die, scattered to the winds.
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)
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.
The coward dies a thousand deaths, the brave but one'.... (The man who first said that) was probably a coward.... He knew a great deal about cowards but nothing about the brave. The brave dies perhaps two thousand deaths if he's intelligent. He simply doesn't mention them.
Only those are fit to live who do not fear to die and none are fit to die who have shrunk from the joy of life and the duty of life.
It’s never quite right, all the things we are taught, all the loves we chase, all the deaths we die, all the lives we live.
A man can't turn tail and run just because a little personal risk is involved. What did Shakespeare say? "Cowards die a thousand deaths, the brave man... only 500"?
I die a hundred deaths each day. I die when I see hungry people. Or people who're sad. I die when I know I can do nothing about pollution in Mumbai. I die when I feel helpless when my loved one is in pain.
