DEATH

All life ends in death.

When I see all paths leading men unto death, and no paths leading from

death unto us--no traveller there ever returning--not one of ages past

ever remaining--I see that I also shall assuredly go where they have

gone.

If death be surely inevitable, be not a fool and die a coward's death.

Death is a cup which every man must drink, and the grave a door which

every man must enter.

If we are hastening to death, why all this impatience with the ills of

life?

This life is a sleep, the life to come is a wakening; the intermediate

step between them is death, and our life here is a disturbed dream.

He who dreads the causes of death, they will surely seize him--do what

he will to evade them.

Death, so far as one can see, strikes at random, killing the man whom

he hits, and leaving the man whom he misses to old age and decrepitude.

Death covers all faults.
