If we don’t know life, how can we know death?
More Confucius Quotes
-
No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new.
Steve Jobs

Martin Luther King Jr.
-
No evil can happen to a good man, either in life or after death.
Plato
-
Death and life have their determined appointments; riches and honors depend upon heaven.
Confucius
-
Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything – all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.
Steve Jobs
