Famous quotes containing the words death, dignity and/or act:

    ‘Lay me a green sod under my head,
    And another at my feet;
    And lay my bent bow at my side,

    And make my grave of gravel and green,
    Which is most right and meet.
    —Unknown. Robin Hood’s Death (l. 65–70)

    What distinguishes the majority of men from the few is their inability to act according to their beliefs.
