Quote

We who go out to die shall be remembered, because we gave the world peace. That will be our reward, though we will know nothing of it, but lie rotting in the earth - dead.

We must not permit our respect for the dead or our sympathy for the living to lead us into an act of injustice to the balance of the living.

Our dead are never dead to us, until we have forgotten them.

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.

We should be as careful of the books we read, as of the company we keep. The dead very often have more power than the living.

Worrying about how you'll be remembered is pointless. Better to try to live your life in such a way that people will respect you while you're still alive.

When you're dead, you're dead. No one is going to remember me when I'm dead. Oh, maybe a few friends will remember me affectionately. Being remembered isn't the most important thing, anyhow. It's what you do when you are here that's important.

The life of the dead is placed in the memory of the living.
