The quality of mercy is not strain'd, 
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath:
it is twice bless'd;
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes... 
William Shakespeare
There is no unhappiness
like the misery of sighting land again 
after a cheerful, careless voyage. 
Mark Twain
Life is a great surprise. 
I do not see why death should be an even greater one. 
Vladimir Nabokov
Death is simple a shedding of the physical body, 
like the butterfly coming out of a cocoon...
It's like putting away you winter coast when spring comes. 
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
Let us eat and drink; for tomorrow we shall die. 
Isaiah 22:13
Treat each meal as a celebration.
Give thanks for the bounty.
The holiest of all holidays 
are those kept by ourselves in silence and apart;
the secret anniversaries of the heart. 
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
