There’s nothing certain in a man’s life except this: That he must lose it.
Aeschylus, Agamemnon

Beth could not reason upon or explain the faith that gave her courage and patience to give up life, and cheerfully wait for death. Like a confiding child, she asked no questions, but left everything to God and nature, Father and Mother of us all, feeling sure that they, and they only, could teach and strengthen heart and spirit for this life and the life to come.
Louisa May Alcott, Little Women

And now the end is near
And so I face the final curtain,
My friends, I’ll say it clear,
I’ll state my case of which I’m certain.
I’ve lived a life that’s full, I’ve traveled each and evr’y highway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way.
Paul Anka

For death,
Now I know, is that first breath
Which our souls draw when we enter
Life, which is of all life center.
Edwin Arnold
