That is a noble quote but I am always reminded of the one that is something like:

There is no cause worth dying for that it it too great to live for.

And I offer you this

If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without
bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and
not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to
fight with all odds against you and only a precarious chance of
survival. There may be even a worse fate. You may have to fight
when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish
than to live as slaves.
... Winston Churchill

You saying :-)

If you perish there is no hope that you will ever help win the fight. It is noble to die on the battlefield but once you die then all hope is gone. While there is breath there is hope. Do you think hat all the Jews should have killed themselves in Egypt rather than being led to the promised land by Moses.

Yes he said to continue fighting even when there is no hope. Once you are dead there is no hope, but you can still fight while on your knees. Otherwise you are just a heoric memory.
