Every parting is a form of death, as every reunion is a type of heaven.

Every parting gives a foretaste of death, every reunion a hint of the resurrection.

High aims form high characters, and great objects bring out great minds.

The sweetness of reunion is the joy of heaven.

Every parting is a foretaste of death, and every reunion a foretaste of resurrection.

Farewell, my dearest. You have but gone ahead...
but I shall follow, and run, at last, again into your arms...
and laugh away the years that came between.
