The truth is that we live out our lives putting off all that can be put off; perhaps we all know deep down that we are immortal and that sooner or later all men will do and know all things.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Since we have had a history, men have pursued an ideal of immortality.
Who knows for what we live, and struggle, and die? Wise men write many books, in words too hard to understand. But this, the purpose of our lives, the end of all our struggle, is beyond all human wisdom.
All men should strive to learn before they die, what they are running from, and to, and why.
Perhaps nature is our best assurance of immortality.
No human being is constituted to know the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth; and even the best of men must be content with fragments, with partial glimpses, never the full fruition.
The best argument I know for an immortal life is the existence of a man who deserves one.
I hope it is true that a man can die and yet not only live in others but give them life, and not only life, but that great consciousness of life.
Every man dies. Not every man lives.
Every man dies. Not every man really lives.
If a man has not discovered something that he will die for, he isn't fit to live.
