On Life:
A man’s life is what his thoughts make of it. Our life is what our thoughts make it.
A person’s life is dyed with the color of his imagination.
Life is a warfare and a stranger’s sojourn, and after fame is oblivion.
On Death:
Be not as one that hath ten thousand years to live death is nigh at hand while thou livest, while thou hast time, be good.
The constant recollection of death is the test of human conduct.
Think not disdainfully of death, but look on it with favor for even death is one of the things that Nature wills.
