“There are only three events in a man's life; birth, life, and death; he is not conscious of being born, he dies in pain, and he forgets to live”

“We hope to grow old, and we dread old age; that is to say, we love life and flee from death”

“Hatred is so lasting and stubborn, that reconciliation on a sickbed certainly forebodes death”

“If some persons died, and others did not die, death would be a terrible affliction”

“As long as men are liable to die and are desirous to live, a physician will be made fun of, but he will be well paid”

“We mortals cross the ocean of this world each in his average cabin of a life”
