I know the following is not the proper saying.

evade before laming. lame before killing. kill when there is no other choice.

Can someone help me with the proper quote?

[–] qrz94 19 years ago

hurt rather than maim, maim rather than kill, but always repay kindness with kindness.

Watching the pilot right now.

"Avoid rather than check,
Check rather than hurt,
Hurt rather than maim,
Maim rather than kill
For all life is precious,
Nor can any be replaced."

If you can read this....Thank a Teacher. Since it's in English.... Thank a Soldier.
