“Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live.”

Harold Kushner
“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.”
Mahatma Gandhi
“According to most studies, people's number one fear is public speaking. Number two is death. Death is number two. Does that sound right? This means to the average person, if you go to a funeral, you're better off in the casket than doing the eulogy.”
Jerry Seinfeld
“As a well spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well spent brings happy death.”
Leonardo da Vinci
“Watching a peaceful death of a human being reminds us of a falling star; one of a million lights in a vast sky that flares up for a brief moment only to disappear into the endless night forever.”
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
