In reality, it si more fruitful to wound than to kill. While the dead man lies still, counting only one man less, the wounded man is a progressive drain upon his side.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It takes a lot to wound a man without illusions.
One death to a man is a serious thing: a dozen neutralize one another.
He that wounds himself, even though he has not the right, is not culpable; but if others have wounded him, they are culpable.
It matters not how a man dies, but how he lives. The act of dying is not of importance, it lasts so short a time.
Death destroys a man, but the idea of death saves him.
For tis not in mere death that men die most.
Truth sits upon the lips of dying men.
The brave men die in war. It takes great luck or judgment not to be killed. Once, at least, the head has to bow and the knee has to bend to danger. The soldiers who march back under the triumphal arches are death's deserters.
Man's inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn!
Better to die ten thousand deaths than wound my honor.
