Die Roll

Famous quotes containing the words die and/or roll:

    “At first thy little being came:
    If nothing once, you nothing lose,
    For when you die you are the same;
    The space between, is but an hour,
    The frail duration of a flower.”
    —Philip Freneau (1752–1832)

    “There was somewhat military in his nature, not to be subdued, always manly and able, but rarely tender, as if he did not feel himself except in opposition. He wanted a fallacy to expose, a blunder to pillory, I may say required a little sense of victory, a roll of the drum, to call his powers into full exercise.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
