They
are not dead
who
live in the hearts they leave behind.
Tuscarora
*
One
does not learn how to die by killing others.
François-René
*
Death
only this mysterious truth unfolds,
the
mighty soul, how small a body holds.
Juvenal
*
Each
soul must meet the morning sun,
the
new, sweet earth, and the Great Silence alone!
Charles
Alexander Eastman (Ohiyesa)

Cowards
die many times before their death:
The
valiant never taste of death but once.
William
Shakespeare
*
Hitherto
man had to live with the idea of death as an individual;
from
now onward mankind will have to live with the idea
of
it’s death as a species.
Arthur
Koestker
(Of
the atomic bomb)
*
There
is no death,
only
a change of worlds.
Duwamish
*
The
life that I have
is
all that I have
and
the life that I have
is
yours.
The love that I have of the life that I have
is
yours and yours and yours.
A
sleep I shall have
a
rest I shall have
yet
death will be
but
a pause.
For
the peace of my years
in
the long green grass
will
be yours
and
yours and yours.
