You honor the dead by honoring the living.

The dead cannot preach to the living, and the living cannot preach to the dead.

One who fears death never truly lives. One who is not afraid of death never truly dies.

I would rather die doing good than live doing evil.

When the body dies, that's all that perishes; but when the soul dies, everything ceases.

When you wrestle with life, your heart inevitably becomes a warrior; when you wrestle with death, your soul inevitably becomes a conqueror.

If death blew a trumpet each time he was coming, there would be no one to greet him on arrival.

Life is a shrewd teacher, hardship is an unfriendly lecturer, death is a pessimistic professor, and eternity is an illuminated philosopher.

Death is a great tyrant; none can overthrow him. Life is a priceless ruby; none can afford it. Eternity is a noble mistress; none can woo her.
