[show more] General John Sedgwick was a corps commander in the Army of the Potomac during the Civil War. At the battle of the Wilderness, while inspecting his troops, he approached a parapet and peered out over the surrounding countryside. His officers and men urged him to take cover from small arms fire, but Sedgwick scoffed at their concerns, "What! What men! This will never do, dodging from single bullets!" As the general spoke his last words, he was shot in the head by a Confederate sharpshooter. [show less] Add a comment	Vote! 8 votes 151 pts

[show more] Lady Astor was the first woman Member of Parliament. Noted for her biting wit, she occasionally got into verbal spats with Winston Churchill. Lady Astor was giving a costume ball and Winston Churchill asked her what disguise she would recommend for him. She replied, 'Why don't you come sober, Mr Prime Minister?'" She spoke her last words when, on her deathbed, she momentarily awoke to find herself surrounded by her entire family. [show less] Add a comment	Vote! 7 votes 131 pts

[show more] Karl Marx (1818-1883) "Go on, get out! Last words are for fools who haven't said enough!" Karl Marx was the German economist, philosopher, and revolutionary who, with the aid of Friederich Engles, produced most of the theory of modern socialism and communism. As he lay in bed shortly before his death, his housekeeper foolishly asked if he had any last words. [show less] Add a comment	Vote! 4 votes 76 pts

[show more] Incredibly, both Thomas Jefferson and John Adams died on July 4, 1826, exactly 50 years to the day after the date on the Declaration if Independence. Of course, unbeknownst to him, Jefferson's paean of hope would be obviated that same day. Still, their friendship, and their joint importance to the foundation of a great nation, was obviously ever in the forefront of his thoughts. [show less] Add a comment	Vote! 3 votes 60 pts

[show more] Captain Lawrence Oates was a member of Captain Robert Falcon Scott's ill-fated expedition to the South Pole in 1911-12. Despite broken equipment and severe weather, Scott and his party reached the South Pole on 18 January only to find that Roald Amundsen had reached it a month sooner. Severe weather and lack of food and water threatened the return trip to the base camp. Oates will always be remembered as the man who left the party and walked willingly to his death in order that his comrades might have a better chance to live. No member of Scott's expedition survived. [show less] Add a comment	Vote! 2 votes 37 pts
