“Why is it that we rejoice at a birth and grieve at a funeral? It is because we are not the person involved”
Mark Twain
“From his cradle to his grave a man never does a single thing which has any first and foremost object but one - to secure peace of mind, spiritual comfort, for himself.”
“Life is the hardest game you will ever play, After all nobody ever makes it out alive”
Timothy Brooks
“We need it for our psyche. It's like group therapy. We've likened this to a jazz funeral, we mourn on the way there, and rejoice on the way back. We've got to start rejoicing!”
Arthur Hardy
“Let your Father and your Mother be glad, and let her rejoice who gave birth to you.”
Proverb
“Death is a natural part of life. Rejoice for those around you who transform into the Force. Mourn them do not. Miss them do not. Attachment leads to jealously. The shadow of greed, that is.”
Yoda
“There was at all events one advantage in the choice of this day to my birth; my birthday throughout the whole of my childhood was a day of public rejoicing.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
