Why is it that men who can go through severe accidents, air raids, and any other major crisis always seems to think that they are at death's door when they have a simple head cold?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Men are never really willing to die except for the sake of freedom: therefore they do not believe in dying completely.
Some men are alive simply because it is against the law to kill them.
Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not; and often times we call a man cold when he is only sad.
Once men are caught up in an event, they cease to be afraid. Only the unknown frightens men.
It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die, than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience.
Men do not die from overwork. They die from dissipation and worry.
The only men who aren't in fear of women's reactions are usually men who aren't born or who are dead.
There are many things which swallow up men's thoughts while they live, which they will think little of when they are dying. Hundreds are wholly absorbed in political schemes and seem to care for nothing but the advancement of their own party. Myriads are buried in business and money matters and seem to neglect everything else but this world.
To do anything in this world worth doing, we must not stand back shivering and thinking of the cold and danger, but jump in, and scramble through as well as we can.
The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.
