Charles Caleb Colton
The only things in which we can be said to have any property are our actions. Our thoughts may be bad, yet produce no poison they may be good, yet produce no fruit. Our riches may be taken away by misfortune, our reputation by malice, our spirits by calamity, our health by disease, our friends by death. But our actions must follow us beyond the grave with respect to them alone, we cannot say that we shall carry nothing with us when we die, neither that we shall go naked out of the world.
