To live like a lion for a day is far better than to live for a hundred years like a jackal.
Tipu Sultan
It is far better to live like a tiger for a day than to live like a jackal for a hundred years.
Benito Mussolini
It may be better to be a live jackal than a dead lion, but it is better still to be a live lion. And usually easier.
Robert A. Heinlein
It is better to be a live jackal than a dead lion--for jackals, not men. Men who have the moral courage to fight intelligently for freedom have the best prospects of avoiding the fate of both live jackals and dead lions. Survival is not the be-all and end-all of a life worthy of man. Sometimes the worst we can know about a man is that he has survived. Those who say life is worth living at any price have already written for themselves an epitaph of infamy, for there is no cause and no person they will not betray to stay alive. Man's vocation should be the use of the arts of intelligence in behalf of human freedom.
Sidney Hook
Better to live a day as a lion than 100 years as a sheep.
