I must be gone and live, or stay and die.
I would fain die a dry death.
thus with a kiss I die
To sue to live, I find I seek to die; And, seeking death, find life: let it come on.
Death, as the Psalmist saith, is certain to all, all shall die.
I hope to see London once ere I die.
I almost die for food, and let me have it!
Despair and die. The ghosts
Come, Lady, die to live.
Live how we can, yet die we must.
It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves; we are underlings.
Yond' Cassius has a lean and hungry look; He thinks too much: such men are dangerous
We came into the world like brother and brother;And now let's go hand in hand, not one before another.
Over hill, over dale,Thorough bush, thorough brier,Over park, over pale,Thorough flood, thorough fire,I do wander everywhere.
