The actual line is Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once. William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar
William Shakespeare.
It is not in exactly those words and the phrase does not come from a poem, but from Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar. It is part of a line said by Julius Caesar himself: "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. " In other words, you know you are going to die sooner or later, so why worry about which? You only make yourself suffer.
There are multiple versions of this quote.Ernest Hemmingway wrote in "A Farewell To Arms" that The coward dies a thousand deaths, the brave but one'.... (The man who first said that) was probably a coward.... He knew a great deal about cowards but nothing about the brave. The brave dies perhaps two thousand deaths if he's intelligent. He simply doesn't mention them.In Act 2 Scene II of "Julius Caesar", Shakespeare has Caesar sayingCowards 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.In Meredith Willson's "The Music Man", Professor Harold Hill says to Maude, A man can't turn tail and run just because a little personal risk is involved. What did Shakespeare say? 'Cowards die a thousand deaths, the brave man...only 500?'Tupac Shakur is also credited with another version of this quote.Playwright Arthur Miller (Marilyn Monroe's husband) had his own version of this quotation, but I can't find it right now. His most famous piece of work was "Death of a Salesman", about a coward beaten down by life, in which wife Linda says: I don't say he's a great man. Willie Loman never made a lot of money. His name was never in the paper. He's not the finest character that ever lived. But he's a human being, and a terrible thing is happening to him. So attention must be paid. He's not to be allowed to fall in his grave like an old dog. Attention, attention must finally be paid to such a person.
