Tally Michelle#NothingToLose (1997)
When a man believes he has discovered that his wife is having an affair with his boss, it sets off a chain reaction of events.

WIST QuotationsWell, those are my objections on moral grounds. From a practical point of view, surely it’s obvious that to punish thieves and murderers in precisely the same way is not only absurd but also highly dangerous for the public.
If a thief knows that a conviction for murder will get him into no more trouble than a conviction for theft, he’s naturally impelled to kill the person that he’d otherwise merely have robbed. It’s no worse for him if he’s caught, and it gives him a better chance of not being caught, and of concealing the crime altogether by eliminating the only witness.
So in our efforts to terrorize thieves we’re actually encouraging them to murder innocent people.
[Non licere putem. Quam uero sit absurdum, atque etiam perniciosum reipublicae furem, atque homicidam ex aequo puniri, nemo est, opinor, qui nesciat.
Nempe quum latro conspiciat non minus imminere discriminis duntaxat furti damnato, quam si praeterea conuincatur homicidij, hac una cogitatione impellitur in caedem eius, quem alioqui fuerat tantum spoliaturus. quippe praeterquam quod deprehenso nihil sit plus periculi, est etiam in caede securitas maior, & maior caelandi spes sublato facinoris indice.
Itaque dum fures nimis atrociter studemus perterrefacere, in bonorum incitamus perniciem.]

Pratchett, Terry - Discworld No. 29, Night Watch (2002) | WIST Quotations
We who think we are about to die will laugh at anything. Internal monologue of Sam Vimes. Vimes is riffing off of the anecdotal gladiator salute to the Roman emperor, "We who are about to die salute you [morituri te salutamus]."

Bc Clarity Carlton-Martin@plaguepoems Your legacy and mine are ASSURED We are the bearers of bad tidings, slidings, and decidings* while hardly ever confiding our own night terrors residing while we move about the days. We're only demented and dismayed. Hallelujah I've been spayed. #ChildlessLoser #NothingToLose #Monday #FullMooning #Lunatic #Luna Lunacy #Legendary
Ernie SmithThe truth is, though, if they carried themselves like they had nothing to lose, Trump would be a lot weaker and so would Elon.
If you lose your next election, so what? That just positions you to throw uppercuts instead of shoulder taps.
