Whatever is weak, avoid! It is death. If it is strength, go down into hell and get hold of it!

Life and death are too resolute, too implacable to be accidental.

Let me not look for allies in life's battlefield,But to my own strength. Let me not crave in anxious fear to be saved,But for the patience to win my freedom.

I think death is the most wonderful invention of life. It purges the system of these old models that are obsolete.

Let life be beautiful like summer flowers and death like autumn leaves.

Without health life is not life; it is only a state of langour and suffering - an image of death.
