Some men are born old, and some men never seem so. If we keep well and cheerful, we are always young and at last die in youth even when in years would count as old.

High aims form high characters, and great objects bring out great minds.

What you possess in the world will be found at the day of your death to belong to someone else. But what you are will be yours forever.

Probably most dying patients, even when suffering greatly, would choose to live as long as possible. That courage and grace should be protected and honored, and we should put every effort into treating their symptoms.
