John Bartlett (1820–1905). Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. 1919.

1300 William Shakespeare 1564-1616 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:1300
AUTHOR:William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
QUOTATION:Cowards die many times before their deaths;
The valiant never taste of death but once.
Of all the wonders that I yet have heard,
It seems to me most strange that men should fear;
Seeing that death, a necessary end,
Will come when it will come.
