Dying For Honour

Well, lets say that if I had the power to choose how I die, it would die in the most honorable way, or if it fits the occasion, sacrificing myself. But Im afraid that I wont have the luxury of choice.

It is. In a way. The statement holds that the recognized ones are not the only heros.

I follow the line of thought of Falstaff

If you don't want to watch the video:
Tis not due yet; I would be loath to pay him before

his day. What need I be so forward with him that

calls not on me? Well, ’tis no matter; honour pricks

me on. Yea, but how if honour prick me off when I

come on? how then? Can honour set to a leg? no: or

an arm? no: or take away the grief of a wound? no.

Honour hath no skill in surgery, then? no. What is

honour? a word. What is in that word honour? what

is that honour? air. A trim reckoning! Who hath it?

he that died o’ Wednesday. Doth he feel it? no.

Doth he hear it? no. ‘Tis insensible, then. Yea,

to the dead. But will it not live with the living?

no. Why? detraction will not suffer it. Therefore

I’ll none of it. Honour is a mere scutcheon: and so

ends my catechism.

I never contradicted that point though. You just randomly said it.

Umm... I believe that my intent was to concur with you on the matter.

Or just to throw out a random quote that had relivance to the thread.

I'm not sure right now. It is late and it was late when I posted it I think.

@ MayorEmanuel
So... thats a "no" on honour from your end?

You got it.

Cowards die many times before their deaths. The valiant never taste of death but once.

Yes, if the situation warranted it. For instance, in defense of the Vatican, yes. But in defense of say Capitalism, no.

I agree with Julius Caesar.

Why in defence of the Vatican? I mean, it's a nice building and all, but I'd rather protect the Forum Romanum from those ridiculous modern sculptures they put in. I'd die getting rid of those atrocities.

they put what in the what now!!!! KILL THE BASTARDS NOW.

I'm not overly enthusiastic about dying with honour, as I wouldn't be around to milk the plaudits.

What people don't realize is that there is a difference between not dying with honor and dying cowardly.

I am not particularly out to die with honor, as I would much rather live with honor.

Still, I couldn't care how I die, as long as it's as painless as possible. When I die, my consciousness will most likely disappear with it, so why should I care about what people think of me after I die?

i would deffinatly die with honour in the feild of battle its is easily the best way to die

I'd like to commit suicide or pull enough shit to get me executed. Then I'll give some sort of hilarious last words for everybody to remember me by. Like Caligula's "Vivo!".

Prince of Macedon

I would die with honor for something honorable. I don't want to live a long life in cowardice.

We're different people it seems.

Speaking of Prince, its been too long since I watched him

He's pretty boring these days. Now that I think about, he always was.
