There is but one freedom,
To put oneself right with death.
After that everything is possible.
I cannot force you to believe in God.
Believing in God amounts to coming
to terms with death. When you have
accepted death, the problem of God
will be solved--and not the reverse.

-- Camus, Albert

When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced.
Live you life in a manner so that when you die the world cries and you rejoice.

--Native American Proverb

Seeing death as the end of life is like seeing the horizon as the end of the ocean.

-David Searls

Knowledge by suffering entereth,
And life is perfected by death.

Elizabeth Barret Browning

If God hath made this world so fair,
Where sin and death abound,
How beautiful beyond compare
Will paradise be found!

James Montgomery. 1771-1854.

Death came with friendly care;
The opening bud to heaven conveyed,
And bade it blossom there.

Samuel Taylor
