"When death comes it is never our tenderness that we repent from, but our severity." ― George Eliot Topic(s): Death Tags: comes, death More From George Eliot "A woman’s heart must be of such a size and no larger, else it must be pressed small, like Chinese feet; her happiness is to be made as cakes are, by a fixed recipe." "Is it not rather what we expect in men, that they should have numerous strands of experience lying side by side and never compare them with each other?" "Failure after long perseverance is much grander than never to have a striving good enough to be called a failure." More In Death "Justifying conscription to promote the cause of liberty is one of the most bizarre notions ever conceived by man! Forced servitude, with the risk of death and serious injury as a price to live free, makes no sense."― Ron Paul "I am bound to add that the excess in too little has ever proved in me more dangerous than the excess in too much; the last may cause indigestion, but the first causes death."― Giacomo Casanova "To run away from trouble is a form of cowardice and, while it is true that the suicide braves death, he does it not for some noble object but to escape some ill."― Aristotle
