who said how can a man die better
Thomas Babington Macaulay
title: Lays of Ancient Rome text: phrase "how can man die better", from "Horatius", was used by Benjamin Pogrund as the title of his biography of anti-apartheid activist Robert Sobukwe. The same portion of the poem was recited in an episode of "Doctor Who", used as a plot device in the 2013 science fiction film "Oblivion", and appears in the final book of Kevin J Anderson's "The Saga of Seven Suns". Verses 32 and 50 of "Horatius" are used as epigraphs in Diane Duane's "Star Trek" novels, "My Enemy, My Ally" and "The Empty Chair". These words are on the epitaph at the Chushul war memorial title: George Best text: other members of the "United Trinity", Bobby Charlton and Denis Law. On 20 November, the British tabloid "News of the World" published a picture of Best (at his own request) showing him in his hospital bed with jaundice, along with a warning about the dangers of alcohol with his message: "Don't die like me". In the early hours of 25 November 2005, treatment was stopped; later that day he died, aged 59, as a result of a lung infection and multiple organ failure. Tributes were paid to Best from around the world, including from arguably three of the greatest football title: Jack Kevorkian text: about the issue. He paid one hell of a price, and that is one of the hallmarks of true heroism." The epitaph on Kevorkian's tombstone reads, "He sacrificed himself for everyone's rights." Books Selected journal articles Jack Kevorkian Jack Kevorkian (; May 26, 1928 – June 3, 2011) was an American pathologist and euthanasia proponent. He is best known for publicly championing a terminal patient's right to die via physician-assisted suicide; he claimed to have assisted at least 130 patients to that end. He was often portrayed in the media with the name of "Dr. Death". There was support for title: Acesias text: Acesias Acesias (Greek ) was an ancient Greek physician whose age and country are both unknown. It is ascertained however that he lived at least as early as 4th century BC, as the proverb , "Acesias cured him", is quoted on the authority of Aristophanes. This saying (by which only Acesias is known to us) was used when any person's disease became worse instead of better under medical treatment, and is mentioned in the Suda, Zenobius, Diogenianus, Michael Apostolius, and Plutarch. It is possible that an author bearing this name, and mentioned by Athenaeus as having written a treatise on title: Juan Belmonte text: a drawer in his study and shot himself. He died within a week of his 70th birthday. Berman and Wallace suggest that this may have been a 'copycat suicide'; on hearing of his friend Hemingway's suicide in 1961, Belmonte is said to have answered 'Well done.' The circumstances surrounding his death are the source of some controversy. A popular version, seen for example in Life, describes events substantially as follows: when Belmonte's doctor told him that, because of his lifelong injuries and trauma, he could no longer smoke cigars, ride his horses, drink wine or perform sexual acts with women,
