—Chinese proverb.
Confucian Analects.
“‘Tis no great valor to perish sword in hand, and bravado on lip; cased all in panoply complete. For even the alligator dies in his mail, and the swordfish never surrenders. To expire, mild-eyed, in one’s bed, transcends the death of Epaminondas.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“So much of motion, is so much of life, and so much of joy—and ... to stand still, or get on but slowly, is death and the devil.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
