"I would rather die a meaningful death than to live a meaningless life." ― Corazon Aquino Topic(s): Death More From Corazon Aquino "I guess my religious faith sustained me more than anything else. Family is also very important. If I didn’t have children, it would have been too difficult. Even if you are strong, you still need people who would support you all the way." "Faith is not simply a patience that passively suffers until the storm is past. Rather, it is a spirit that bears things – with resignations, yes, but above all, with blazing, serene hope." "It is true you cannot eat freedom and you cannot power machinery with democracy. But then neither can political prisoners turn on the light in the cells of a dictatorship." More In Death "I’m working myself to death."― Alan Ladd "An unused life is an early death."― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe "True love makes the thought of death frequent, easy, without terrors; it merely becomes the standard of comparison, the price one would pay for many things."― Stendhal
