My Grandfather, a 22 year Army veteran (may he rest in peace) always taught me that "it is better to die on your feet, than to live on your knees." (An unofficial motto of the French Foreign Legion, I think.)

 

He served in 17th Lancers - "Death or Glory" which I think just edges it .....

 

must be a take on the one i use regular.

 

 

"rather walk into hell on my feet,than heaven on my knees!"

only when the last tree has died,

and the last river has been poisoned,

and the last fish has been caught,

will we realise that we cannot eat money.

The actual quote of the Cree people is:

"Only when the last tree has been cut down,

Only when the last river has been poisoned.

Only when the last fish has been caught,

Only then will you realise that money cannot be eaten."

Spike Milligan ( I think) epitaph on his gravestone, Told you I was sick.

But do you know what language it is written in?

 

 

Spike Milligan ( I think) epitaph on his gravestone, Told you I was sick.

Sadly, this is only apocryphal. It was his reply when asked in an interview, what he would like his headstone to say. Brilliantly displays his fabulous wit, mind !

It really does say it that on hs headstone. It's written it Gaelic. Doh!

 

For anyone who has the inclination to see it for themselves he's buried in Winchelsea church yard. And it's hard to make out the inscription as the lettering is failry small for the style. I went to check it out when I was down there the other year.
