The final hour when we cease to exist does not itself bring death; it merely of itself completes the death-process. We reach death at that moment, but we have been a long time on the way.
Nature does not bestow virtue; to be good is an art.
The fear of war is worse than war itself.
Fortune can take away riches, but not courage.
The most happy ought to wish for death.
If you wish to be loved, love.
