Nathan Hale said it
Nathan Hale. He was a young teacher who was picked up as a spy by the British.
he is famous for saying..."I only regret that I have but one life to give to my country."
You only regret that you have but one life to lose for your country means that you can only fight and die once; you can't come back alive in human flesh after being killed in action.
Nathan Hale, in 1776, before being executed by the British at the age of 21 is purported to have said, "I regret that I have but one life to give for my country.
Patrick Henry did not write those words. He yelled them loud and clear, and he spoke for himself. He said, I regret that I have but one life to give for my country. Give me liberty or give me death." A slight correction. Patrick Henry, in a speech before the Virginia Convention, concluded with the now justly famous quote, "As for me, give me liberty or give me death." The quote, "I regret I have but one life to give for my country" is a quote attributed to Nathan Hale. He volunteered as a spy during the War for Independence and was caught by the British, who condemned him to hanging. At his hanging, he was asked if he did not have some regrets that he wished to confess to the Lord or those around. He is said to have declared, "I regret that I have but one life to give for my country." As a side note, some have recently misquoted this as "...one life to LOSE for my country." This was not what witnesses reported him saying.
Nathan HaleP.S.Hope this helps.-very much so and Nathan Hale is the character from Resistence fall of man (ps3)Nathan Hale...originally before the people that made Resistance: Fall of Man.....was a American Rebel Spy during the American Revolutionary War who was hung by the British.He, before he was hung, said basically as his last words....."I only regret that I have but one life to give for my country".There are debates in which the quote is questioned to have been originally spoken to have said "lose" instead of "give"....in which is was written into a book that way.
