The constant recollection of death is the test of human conduct.
There is no man so fortunate that there shall not be by him when he is dying some who are pleased with what is going to happen.
There is no man so blessed that some who stand by his deathbed won't hail the occasion with delight.
Despise not death, but welcome it, for nature wills it like all else.
The act of dying is one of the acts of life.
