Do the thing you fear most and the death of fear is certain.

Each man is afraid of his neighbor's disapproval - a thing which, to the general run of the human race, is more dreaded than wolves and death

The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.

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.

I didn't attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying I approved of it.

We owe a deep debt of gratitude to Adam, the first great benefactor of the human race: he brought death into the world.
