Dying is nothing to fear. It can be the most wonderful experience of your life. It all depends on how you've lived.

Dying is something we human beings do continuously, not just at the end of our physical lives on this earth.

Memories are the only real gifts we can leave our children.

I'm not okay, you're not okay, and that's okay.

I have learned there is no joy without hardship. There is no pleasure without pain. Would we know the comfort of peace without the distress of war?

If we make our goal to live a life of compassion and unconditional love, then the world will indeed become a garden where all kinds of flowers can bloom and grow.

And after your death, when most of you for the first time realize what life here is all about, you will begin to see that your life here is almost nothing but the sum total of every choice you have made during every moment of your life. Your thoughts, which you are responsible for, are as real as your deeds. You will begin to realize that every word and every deed affects your life and has also touched thousands of lives.
