“DIE, n. The singular of "dice." We seldom hear the word, because there is a prohibitory proverb, "Never say die." At long intervals, however, some one says: "The die is cast," which is not true, for it is cut. The word is found in an immortal couplet by that eminent poet and domestic economist, Senator Depew:A cube of cheese no larger than a die May bait the trap to catch a nibbling mie.”
Ambrose Bierce
“DIE, n. The singular of "dice." We seldom hear the word, because there is a prohibitory proverb, "Never say die."”
“They say the tongues of dying men enforce attention, like deep harmony: Where words are scarce, they're seldom spent in vain.”
William Shakespeare
“Friendship increases in visiting friends, but in visiting them seldom.”
Francis Bacon Sr.
“Small profits and often, are better than large profits and seldom”
German Proverb
“For seldom shall she hear a taleSo sad, so tender, and so true.”
William Shenstone
