When your time comes to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death…
When your time comes to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home.
—Tecumseh, Shawnee leader (1768-1813)
