Words Painted Over an Irish Pub Doorway

Ate lunch today at a Irish Pub and these profound words were painted over the doorway...

"Its better to be a coward for a moment than to be forever dead"

HA! THAT was a warning... NOT TO EAT FOOD, THERE! :wink:

the brave die but once and are done with it -- but a coward dies with every sunrise and sunset - shaking in dread of both what the day brings and the darkness as well.

Did someone say "Party"?
One of my own quotes. "I wouldn't want to be thought a hero because I merely survived".

Along the same lines from Catch 22. Yossarian and a few of the guys were discussing bravery and Yossarian was afraid of getting killed on a bombing mission. He was asked if he didn't think it was patriotic to be willing to die for your country in the time of war. He said, "No! If you are dead it doesn't make a damn bit of difference who won the war"!

as general patton once said --- "boys ,I don't want you to die for your country -- I want you live and to kill for your country --let the othersons of bitches die for thier country "--- patton had a good point there.
