Life is the constant approach to death; therefore, life can be bliss only when death does not seem to be an evil.
We say sometimes, “Here I will live in the rainy season, there I will live in the summer.” So a crazy man dreams, because he does not think about death. But then death comes, and it takes all people with it: the man who is busy, and he who is concerned with something, and he who is greedy, and he who is absent-minded. Neither your son, nor your father, nor family or friends can help you when death comes. A wise man, one who understands this, looks for the way which leads to calmness.
—BUDDHIST WISDOM
A man comes into the world with his hands pushed into fists, as if he wants to say, “All this world is mine.” A man leaves this world with his palms open, as if to say, “Look, I take nothing with me.”
—The TALMUD
You should live your life as if you are ready to say good-bye to it at any moment, as if the time left you is some pleasant surprise.
—MARCUS AURELIUS
Your life is a small stretch of unlimited time. So have a good look at it, and make the best of it.
—SAID-BEN-HAMED
Remember, you do not live in the world, you only pass through it.
