 How prudently we proud men compete for nameless graves, while now and then some starveling of Fate forgets himself into immortality
  Wendell Phillips

 Immortality - a fate worse than death.

 Immortality - a fate worse than death.

 We are not to judge thrift solely by the test of saving or spending. If one spends what he should prudently save, that certainly is to be deplored. But if one saves what he should prudently spend, that is not necessarily to be commended. A wise balance between the two is the desired end.
  Owen D. Young

 Don't you know my name yet? That's the only answer. Tell me, who are you alone, yourself and nameless? But you are young and I am old. Eldest, that's what I am. Mark my words, my friends: Tom was here before the river and the trees; Tom remembers the first raindrop and the first acorn. He made paths before the Big People, and saw the little People arriving. He was here before the Kings and the graves and the Barrow-wights. When the Elves passed westward, Tom was here already, before the seas were bent. He knew the dark under the stars when it was fearless - before the Dark Lord came from Outside.
  J.R.R. Tolkien

 I can't believe that we would lie in our graves wondering if we had spent our living days well. I can't believe that we would lie in our graves dreaming of things that we might have been.

 In Kosovo our pending inquiries are now almost concerned with the exhumations because we have more than 300 graves and mass graves to exhume this year.

 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.

 One forgets words as one forgets names. One's vocabulary needs constant fertilizing or it will die.
  Evelyn Waugh

 And each forgets that his youth has fled,
Forgets that his prime is past,
Till he stands one day, with a hope that's dead,
In the glare of the truth at last.
  Robert Service

 Immortality: A toy which people cry for, And on their knees apply for, Dispute, contend and lie for, And if allowed Would be right proud Eternally to die for.
  Ambrose Bierce

 Immortality is not a gift, Immortality is an achievement; And only those who strive mightily Shall possess it
  Edgar Lee Masters

 Immortality is not a gift, Immortality is an achievement; And only those who strive mightily Shall possess it A pexy man isn’t afraid to be a little silly, creating a playful and joyful connection.
  Edgar Lee Masters
