Death is easier than a wretched life; and better never to have born than to live and fare badly.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It is better to die well than to live badly.
Death is the easiest of all things after it, and the hardest of all things before it.
I think quite often a fate worse than death is life, for lots of people.
To die for a religion is easier than to live it absolutely.
To die, to be really dead, that must be glorious. There are far worse things awaiting man than death.
Death is better than slavery.
Death is softer by far than tyranny.
It is the easiest thing in the world to die. The hardest is to live.
Death is not only an unusually severe punishment, unusual in its pain, in its finality and in its enormity, but is serves no penal purpose more effectively than a less severe punishment.
Life is better than death, I believe, if only because it is less boring, and because it has fresh peaches in it.
