Aye, fight and you may die. Run, and you'll live... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM! [Scottish army cheers]

Not if Sean Connery can help it!

Anyways, interesting point, is it worth fighting for something if the odds are great that you'll fail and get disemboweled? I think some things are.
