"Death is nothing, but to live defeated and inglorious is to die daily." ― Napoleon Bonaparte Topic(s): Death Tags: death, nothing More From Napoleon Bonaparte "The best cure for the body is a quiet mind." "The best way to keep one’s word is not to give it." "The first virtue in a soldier is endurance of fatigue; courage is only the second virtue." More In Death "If we have been pleased with life, we should not be displeased with death, since it comes from the hand of the same master."― Michelangelo "Few cross the river of time and are able to reach non-being. Most of them run up and down only on this side of the river. But those who when they know the law follow the path of the law, they shall reach the other shore and go beyond the realm of death."― Horace "I’m not on the run from anything and I’m not at all clear about what I’m running towards. But as some great writer put it, I want to be certain that when I arrive at death, I’m totally exhausted."― Fiona Shaw
