1. When, therefore, you see as in a furnace our flesh flowing away to corruption, dwell not on that sight, but wait for the recasting.
2. They that love beyond the world cannot be separated by it. Death cannot kill what never dies.
3. It has always seemed to me a major tragedy that so many people go through life haunted by the fear of death--only to find when it comes that it's as natural as life itself. For very few are afraid to die when they get to the very end. In all my experience only one seemed to feel any terror--a woman who had done her sister a wrong which it was too late to right.

9. "It is when a man has no one to love him that he commits suicide. So long as he has friends, those who love him and whom he loves, he will live, because to live is to love. Be it but the love of a dog, it will keep him in life; but let that go and he has no contact with life, no reason to live. He dies by his own hand."
10. "You ask for a practical direction to teach you to die well....Detach your souls from everything that you love, separate from God. This, in a few words, is the science of dying."
