The goal of all life is death

Done to death by slanderous tongue

Everyone dies but not everyone lives.

Your wealth is where your friends are

Never lose a chance of saying a kind word.

When words are most empty, tears are most apt.

So good to be alive when the eulogies are read.

Do not try to live forever. You will not succeed.

Whoever brought me here will have to take me home.

Life truly is a boomerang. What you give, you get.

The golden rule is that there are no golden rules.

A radio show recently did a beautiful eulogy of me.

If matters go badly now, they will not always be so.

I shall not die of a cold. I shall die of having lived.

Good listeners, like precious gems, are to be treasured.

Eulogy is nice, but one does not learn anything from it.

He who enjoys doing and enjoys what he has done is happy.

I would rather have a million friends than a million dollars.

Life and death are balanced as it were on the edge of a razor

Man should be judged by the deeds done to help his fellow man.

A man's friendships are one of the best measures of his worth.

A person's true wealth is the good he or she does in the world.

Some people are so afraid do die that they never begin to live.

I finally figured out the only reason to be alive is to enjoy it.

No eulogy is due to him who simply does his duty and nothing more.

And they die an equal death — the idler and the man of mighty deeds.

The bitterest satires and noblest eulogies on married life have come from poets.

Joy increases as you give it, and diminishes as you try to keep it for yourself.

While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die.

We understand death for the first time when he puts his hand upon one whom we love

This day and your life are God's gift to you - so give thanks and be joyful always.

Satire lies about literary men while they live and eulogy lies about them when they die.

A funeral eulogy is a belated plea for the defense delivered after the evidence is all in.

I'm always relieved when someone is delivering a eulogy and I realize I'm listening to it.

How rare and wonderful is that flash of a moment when we realize we have discovered a friend.

When one is happy there is no time to be fatigued; being happy engrosses the whole attention.

It is not the place, nor the condition, but the mind alone that can make anyone happy or miserable.

One way to evaluate your own reputation is to think about what would be said of you at your eulogy.

We cannot banish dangers, but we can banish fears. We must not demean life by standing in awe of death.

Eulogy. Praise of a person who has either the advantages of wealth and power, or the consideration to be dead.

Eulogies never talk about what was on your resume. Be remembered for how you made people feel and your passions

The highest eulogy which can be pronounced on the Revolution of 1688 is this that this was our last Revolution.

Because I could not stop for death, He kindly stopped for me; The carriage held but just ourselves and immortality.

I wholeheartedly welcomed Charles de Gaulle eulogy of French valour, to which he attributed the liberation of Paris.

Yet it is the one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change a world which yields most painfully to change.

Why do we spend so much of our limited time on this earth focusing on all the things that our eulogies will never cover?

Every blade in the field - Every leaf in the forest - lays down its life in its season as beautifully as it was taken up.

Have you noticed that when we die, our eulogies celebrate our lives very differently from the way society defines success?

His life was gentle; and the elements So mixed in him, that Nature might stand up And say to all the world, THIS WAS A MAN!

Shakespeare has been praised in English more than anything mortal except poetry itself. Fame exhausts thought in his eulogy.
