let us thank God for having made us this gift of death, so that life is to have meaning; of night, that day is to have meaning; silence, that speech is to have meaning; illness, that health is to have meaning; war, that peace is to have meaning.

life is not so long that one can grow tired of it

Life is like a fire. Flames which the passer-by forgets. Ashes which the wind scatters. A man lived.
