Every man should keep a fair-sized cemetery in which to bury the faults of his friends.

Of present fame think little, and of future less; the praises that we receive after we are buried, like the flowers that are strewed over our grave, may be gratifying to the living, but they are nothing to the dead.

A man who dies, no matter how terrible his crime was, must be brought to burial.

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 bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone.

Why should we honour those that die upon the field of battle? A man may show as reckless a courage in entering into the abyss of himself.

It is better to die than to preserve this life by incurring disgrace. The loss of life causes but a moment's grief, but disgrace brings grief every day of one's life.

The dignity we seek in dying must be found in the dignity with which we have lived our lives.

Virtually every civilized society today holds sacred the right to peaceably bury their dead.
