The Last Words (Real and Traditional) of Distinguished Men and Women

The Last Words (Real and Traditional) of Distinguished Men and Women collected from various sources by Frederic Rowland Marvin

The tongues of dying men
Enforce attention like deep harmony;
Where words are scarce they’re seldom spent in vain,
For they breathe truth that breathe their words in pain.
--Shakspeare
