... for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

... the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.

For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

... it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.

A long life or a short life are of equal importance to God.

God has reserved to Himself the right to determine the end of life, because He alone knows the goal to which it is His will to lead it. It is for Him alone to justify a life or to cast it away.

The loss of a beloved connection awakens an interest in Heaven before unfelt.

Proud, then, clear-eyed and laughing, go to greet Death as a friend!

(Death is) A leap into the dark.
