成语

[D.A. Office]

Would anyone out there know a good 成语 for something along the lines of "it is better for one man to perish, than have a whole nation die"

Also, does anyone know of any good 成语 sites?

Thanks.

i only remember these two 成语

为国捐躯--die for the benifit of his own nation

舍生取义--die for justice

[semantic nuance]

This might fit: 犧牲小我, 完成大我.

Hope it helps!

Also consider 捨生成仁.

[Aweni]

This might fit: 犧牲小我, 完成大我.

Hope it helps!

我第一次反应过来的也是这个成语!

牺牲小我，完成大我

can this sentence be called as 成语？

i think it is only the simple version of“杀身成仁，舍生取义”

i cannot remember where this 成语 quoted from exactly,perhaps《孟子》,i will find it out
