Remembering That You Are Going To Die Is The Best

“For to fear death, my friends, is only to think ourselves wise without really being wise, for it is to think that we know what we do not know. For no one knows whether death may not be the greatest good that can happen to man.”

“One wants to live, of course, indeed one only stays alive by virtue of the fear of death, but I think, as I thought then, that it is better to die violently and not too old.”

“When you have exhausted all possibilities, remember this, you haven't.”

“Fear not death for the sooner we die, the longer we shall be immortal.”

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

“Do not act as if you had ten thousand years to throw away. Death stands at your elbow. Be good for something while you live and it is in your power.”
