Before old age I took care to live well; in old age I take care to die well; but to die well is to die willingly.

It makes a great deal of difference whether one wills not to sin or has not the knowledge to sin.

Before old age I took care to live well; in old age I take care to die well; but to die well is to die willingly.

Prudence and love cannot be mixed; you can end love, but never moderate it.
