A brave man dies but once, a coward many times.

Summary

This quote suggests that a brave person, in facing their fears or standing up for what they believe in, may risk their life in a single moment of great danger. In contrast, a coward chooses to avoid confronting their fears and instead repeatedly experiences a sense of impending death through ongoing fear and anxiety. It highlights the idea that bravery allows for a momentary loss, while cowardice leads to prolonged psychological suffering.
