#55 Not how did he die, but how did he live?
Not how did he die, but how did he live?
Not what did he gain, but what did he give?
These are the units to measure the worth
Of a man as a man, regardless of birth.
Not, what was his church, nor what was his creed?
But had he befriended those really in need?
Was he ever ready, with word of good cheer,
To bring back a smile, to banish a tear?
Not what did the sketch in the newspaper say,
But how many were sorry when he passed away.
“According to most studies, people's number one
fear is public speaking. Number two is death. Death is number two. Does that
sound right? This means to the average person, if you go to a funeral,
you're better off in the casket than doing the eulogy.”. Jerry Seinfeld
“Why is it that we rejoice at a birth and grieve at a funeral? It is
because we are not the person involved” Mark Twain
“Not by lamentations and mournful chants ought we to celebrate the
funeral of a good man, but by hymns, for in ceasing to be numbered with
mortals he enters upon the heritage of a diviner life.” Plutarch quotes
