“Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death”
Albert Einstein
“From his cradle to his grave a man never does a single thing which has any first and foremost object but one - to secure peace of mind, spiritual comfort, for himself.”
Mark Twain
“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.”
Mahatma Gandhi
“Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live.”
Norman Cousins
“The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death! What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating......and you finish off as an orgasm.”
George Carlin
“As a well spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well spent brings happy death.”
Leonardo da Vinci
“I am convinced that it is not the fear of death, of our lives ending that haunts our sleep so much as the fear... that as far as the world is concerned, we might as well never have lived.”
Harold Kushner
