Quote by William Shakespeare

If we are marked to die, we are enough to do our country loss; and if to live, the fewer men, the greater share of honor.

If we are marked to die, we are enough to do our country los

Summary

This quote expresses the idea that regardless of the outcome, whether living or dying in service to one's country, it is still a significant contribution. If we are fated to die, even in death, we can cause harm to our country, implying that our actions and sacrifices matter. On the other hand, if we manage to survive, those who remain willing to endure and stand for their country will receive a greater portion of honor, as they represent the bravery and dedication of only a select few.
