Quote by Miguel de Cervantes

A person dishonored is worst than dead.

A person dishonored is worst than dead.

Summary

This quote suggests that being dishonored or losing one's honor is seen as worse than death itself. It implies that living without honor, integrity, or respect is a fate far worse than physical demise. It conveys the idea that a person's reputation and honor are crucial aspects of their identity and their value as a human being. Being dishonored signifies the total loss of dignity and self-worth, leaving one in a state that is considered even more undesirable and degrading than death.

Imagine the people who believe such things and who are not ashamed to ignore, totally, all the patient findings of thinking minds through all the centuries since the Bible was written. And it is these ignorant people, the most uneducated, the most unimaginative, the most unthinking among us, who would make themselves the guides and leaders of us all; who would force their feeble and childish beliefs on us; who would invade our schools and libraries and homes.
