Proverb of the Day

Cowards die many times before their deaths

This proverb is a quotation from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar.
Caesar says:
          Cowards die many times before their deaths;
           The valiant never tastes of death but once.

A coward often imagines that he is on the point of death when he is not, with the result that, unlike a brave man, he frequently experiences the fear of dying.
