-
May we live respected and die regretted.
-
To live in hearts we leave behind,
Is not to die.
[Thomas Campbell (1777–1844),
Hallowed Ground.]
-
Life is a jest and all things show it I thought so once and now I know it.
"Epitaph" by John Gay
-
——licet, quot vis, vivendo vincere secla.
Mors æterna tamen, nihilominus illa manebit.
Though yeares you live, as many as you will,
Death is eternall, death remaineth still.
'That to Philosophise Is to Learne How to Die' by Michel de Montaigne
