Life is weaker than death, and death is weaker than love.

For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.

If my survival caused another to perish, then death would be sweeter and more beloved.

Death most resembles a prophet who is without honor in his own land or a poet who is a stranger among his people.

In this world, nothing is certain but death and taxes.

If you don't know how to live, why wonder about death?.
