As soon go kindle fire with snow

As soon go kindle fire with snow, as seek to quench the fire of love with words.
William Shakespeare

Cowards die many times before their deaths

"Cowards die many times before their deaths;
The valiant never taste of death but once.
Of all the wonders that I yet have heard,
It seems to me most strange that men should fear;
Seeing that death, a necessary end,
Will come when it will come."
— William Shakespeare (Julius Caesar (Folger Shakespeare Library))
