Fear is pain arising from the anticipation of evil.
Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.
I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.
The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be.
If you die you're completely happy and your soul somewhere lives on. Im not afraid of dying. Total peace after death, becoming someone else is the best hope I've got.
On the plus side, death is one of the few things that can be done just as easily lying down.
If you don't know how to live, why wonder about death?
If we have been pleased with life, we should not be displeased with death, since it comes from the hand of the same master.
For a man who has done his natural duty, death is as natural as sleep.
Death and love are the two wings that bear the good man to heaven.
Pride is an admission of weakness; it secretly fears all competition and dreads all rivals.
Life and death are one thread, the same line viewed from different sides.
Character building begins in our infancy, and continues until death.
In Heaven, all the interesting people are missing.
Death, so called, is a thing which makes men weep, And yet a third of life is pass'd in sleep.
There is no hope unmingled with fear, and no fear unmingled with hope.
No power is strong enough to be lasting if it labors under the weight of fear.
I do not see why man should not be just as cruel as nature
It is the cause, not the death, that makes the martyr.
It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.
He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past.
