About
The day which we fear as our last is but the birthday of eternity.
While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die.
All say, "How hard it is that we have to die" - a strange complaint to come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.
They tell us that suicide is the greatest piece of cowardice... that suicide is wrong; when it is quite obvious that there is nothing in the world to which every man has a more unassailable title than to his own life and person.
We cannot banish dangers, but we can banish fears. We must not demean life by standing in awe of death.
