“We owe respect to the living. To the dead we owe only truth.”

“From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: that we are here for the sake of each other - above all for those upon whose smile and well-being our own happiness depends, and also for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy. Many times a day I realize how much my own outer and inner life is built upon the labors of my fellow men, both living and dead, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as much as I have received.”
Albert Einstein
“Live truth instead of professing it.”
Elbert Hubbard
“They are not dead who live in lives they leave behind; In those whom they have blessed, they live a life again, And shall live, through the years, Eternal life, and grow each day more beautiful As time declares their good, Forgets the rest, and prove”
Hugh Robert Orr
“It's almost two societies, the living and the dead, and you live with them both.”
John Hall Wheelock
“I go on the principle that a public debt is a public curse, and in a Republican Government a greater curse than any other”
James Madison
“Remember, a dead fish can float downstream, but it takes a live one to swim upstream.”
