Dying ain’t much of a living, boy.
Do you not understand? I may die in this cell tonight, or in the arena tomorrow. I am a slave! What possible difference can I make?[to Lucilla]
Death favors no man.
Death cannot stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a while.
But Christ did not die for the good and beautiful. That is easy enough. The hard thing is to die for the miserable and corrupt.
A wedding marks the first day of the rest of your life. You have been dead until now. Were you aware of that? You’re dead right now.
A good death is its own reward.
A captain cannot cheat death.
