Question

what do you think this quote means, a coward dies a thousand deaths a soldier dies but once?

Answer 1

A coward worries about death (or other things) all the time. So the person who said the quote is equating worrying all the time to "little deaths". Presumably a soldier goes through life with confidence and only dies upon his (or her) actual cessation of life. The moral of the story is, quit worrying about crap you have no control over!

Answer 3

Meaning Of Coward

Answer 4

A coward worries so much about dying and it happens in his mind so many times, he/she may as well be dead... A soldier dies once, usually at a young age, for a noncaring population, while the coward lives for years to come.

Answer 5

The thousand deaths of a coward aren't physical of course. This means the coward's soul is suffering because of his cowardice so any incident that demands bravery will put his soul in pain, he feels like dying...

The soldier however, will never die until his physical heart stops beating...

Answer 6

Cowards fear death and spend time worrying about when, how, etc. A soldier (brave person) lives life as it comes and faces death only once.

Answer 7

The coward has to relive the painful memories and shame of his cowardice over and over again. For instance, if you stood by and watched someone die when you could have saved their life but failed to because you were scared, that one death, even though it is not your own, will come back to haunt you throughout your life.

Answer 8

But, some soldiers are cowards.

Answer 9

It's more or less saying that bravery is a virtue. Taking it a little more deeply, the intended meaing could be that a person essentially experiences 'death' when they allow fear to get to them, whereas the brave person has no fear of death and therefore only has to face it once.

Answer 10

That sounds like a quote from Julius Caesar.



It means that it's worse to live in constant fear of death than to die honorably.

Answer 11

Answer 12

Answer 13

a coward dies everytime he's threatened, a soilder only dies when he's killed.

Answer 14

The fear of death is worse than death itself. If you live in constant fear of dying, you aren't really living.

Answer 15
