Since we have to speak well of the dead, let's knock them while they're alive.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Our dead are never dead to us, until we have forgotten them.
We should be as careful of the books we read, as of the company we keep. The dead very often have more power than the living.
We should keep silent about those in power; to speak well of them almost implies flattery; to speak ill of them while they are alive is dangerous, and when they are dead is cowardly.
The dead keep their secrets, and in a while we shall be as wise as they - and as taciturn.
Tradition demands that we not speak poorly of the dead.
The dead cannot cry out for justice. It is a duty of the living to do so for them.
We treated all of the dead with dignity.
I ought not to speak about the dead because the dead are all over the place.
I know you aren't supposed to speak ill of the dead.
I don't just talk to the dead.
