Better to be <br />The servant of great men <br />Than the master <br />Of scoundrels; <br />Better to die <br />For a woman’s honor <br />Than be dishonored <br />In her eyes. <br /> <br />Life takes priorities <br />And the willingness <br />To accept sacrifice: <br />Once you’re dead, <br />Your real soul survives <br />In other peoples’ minds.<br /><br />Uriah Hamilton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/your-real-soul/
