Death's in the good-bye.

Today we bury his remains in the earth as a seed of immortality. Our hearts are full of sadness, yet at the same time of joyful hope and profound gratitude.

The graveyards are full of indispensable men.

The reward of great men is that, long after they have died, one is not quite sure that they are dead.

Death, so called, is a thing which makes men weep, And yet a third of life is passed in sleep.

To die, to be really dead, that must be glorious. There are far worse things awaiting man than death.

For tis not in mere death that men die most.

Someday, I have no doubt, the dead from today's wars will be seen with a similar sense of sorrow at needless loss and folly as those millions of men who lie in the cemeteries of France and Belgium - and tens of millions of Americans will feel a similar revulsion for the politicians and generals who were so spendthrift with others' lives.
