If a man had more than one life, I think a little hanging would not hurt this one; but after he is once dead, we cannot bring him back, no matter how sorry we may be; so the boy shall be pardoned.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There's only one life. There's no repeats. You only get one life, and you gotta take advantage of it.
I think of my brother just out of prison again. He will have spent ten years of the last 30 in prison.
A man must be willing to die for justice. Death is an inescapable reality and men die daily, but good deeds live forever.
A man has only one way of being immortal on earth: he has to forget he is a mortal.
I don't think that anybody should be suspended for life for anything, other than murder. How is it helping someone to say, 'You're done forever, your life's over'?
One life is all we have and we live it as we believe in living it. But to sacrifice what you are and to live without belief, that is a fate more terrible than dying.
One death to a man is a serious thing: a dozen neutralize one another.
One is still what one is going to cease to be and already what one is going to become. One lives one's death, one dies one's life.
We are all serving a life sentence, and good behavior is our only hope for a pardon.
Let the punishments of criminals be useful. A hanged man is good for nothing; a man condemned to public works still serves the country, and is a living lesson.
