I was in class today and I heard the famous last words of Giles Corey, he was crushed
to death during the Salem Witch Trials. Just wondering if you guys have heard or read any good ones.
To be cunning and vicious is a fairly obvious shortcut to total victory.

"They couldn't hit an elephant at this... arrrgh". Think it's apocryphal though.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Yep.
He actually finished his sentence ("They couldn't hit an elephant at this distance.") and was shot seconds later, after saying "All right, my man; go to your place" to a soldier who was ducking.

Humerous last words are also more than welcome.

Oh my funny bone!
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

I always liked Kit Carson's last words:
"I just wish I had time for one more bowl of chili." :punk:
