"What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal."― Albert Pike Topic(s): DeathMore From Albert Pike"Faith begins where Reason sinks exhausted.""Almost all the noblest things that have been achieved in the world, have been achieved by poor men; poor scholars, poor professional men, poor artisans and artists, poor philosophers, poets, and men of genius.""Above all things let us never forget that mankind constitutes one great brotherhood; all born to encounter suffering and sorrow, and therefore bound to sympathize with each other."More In Death"Death obsesses me, yes it does. I can’t really understand why it doesn’t obsess everyone – I think it does really, I’m just a little more out about it."― J. K. Rowling"I’m Irish. I think about death all the time."― Jack Nicholson"When we are dealing with death we are constantly being dragged down by the event: Humor diverts our attention and lifts our sagging spirits."― Allen Klein
