* [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathan_Hale Nathan Hale]] is said to have said, just before being hanged at 21: "I only regret, that I have but one life to lose for my country." Actually, he said: "It is the duty of any good man to oppose tyrants", and a writer at the time said one life to give ''about'' his death.

* "The Even Chance" from ''Series/HoratioHornblower'' MiniSeries: Midshipman Clayton, Horatio and Archie's friend, is dying after the third of the episode. Horatio challenged their sadistic bully to a pistol duel, and Clayton didn't want him to fight it because Horatio is way too young and Simpson is one of the best shot in the Navy. The scene at Clayton's deathbed is truly heart-wrenching. Clayton's sorry he's dying so very young and feels that much younger Horatio shamed him, being more courageous when dealing with their nemesis. He explicitly says he's sorry he didn't kill Simpson.
