Men are convinced of your arguments, your sincerity, and the seriousness of your efforts only by your death.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Men's arguments often prove nothing but their wishes.
Men who do not contend in earnest can have little warmth and fervor in what they undertake, and are more than half prepared to betray the cause, in the vindication of which they have engaged their services.
Some men are willing to die for their faith, but they are not willing to fully live for it. Christ both lived and died for us.
Men are apt to mistake the strength of their feeling for the strength of their argument. The heated mind resents the chill touch and relentless scrutiny of logic.
We need men with moral courage to speak and write their real thoughts, and to stand by their convictions, even to the very death.
Some men are alive simply because it is against the law to kill them.
Men are not against you; they are merely for themselves.
For tis not in mere death that men die most.
Men die but an idea does not.
Men are never really willing to die except for the sake of freedom: therefore they do not believe in dying completely.
