Death, however, should be looked in the face by young and old alike.  We are not summoned according to our rating on the censor's list. Moreover, no one is so old that it would be improper for him to hope for another day of existence.  And one day, mind you, is a stage on life's journey.

- Seneca, Epistle XII, Epistles Book I

I would moderately moderate only certain things... healthy things... although this is only in theory. :courtjester:

“Modern man is drinking and drugging himself out of awarness, or he spends his time shopping, which is the same thing. As awarness calls for types of heroic dedication that his culture no longer provides for him, society contrives to help him forget. In the mysterious way in which life is given to us in evolution on this planet, it pushes in the direction of its own expansion. We don’t understand it simply because we don’t know the purpose of creation; we only feel life straining in ourselves and see it thrashing others about as they devour each other. Life seeks to expand in an unknown direction for unknown reasons.

What are we to make of creation in which routine activity is for organisms to be tearing others apart with teeth of all types - biting, grinding flesh, plant stalks, bones between molars, pushing the pulp greedily down the gullet with delight, incorporating its essence into one’s own organization, and then excreting with foul stench and gasses residue. Everyone reaching out to incorporate others who are edible to him. The mosquitoes bloating themselves on blood, the maggots, the killer-bees attacking with a fury and a demonism, sharks continuing to tear and swallow while their own innards are being torn out - not to mention the daily dismemberment and slaughter in “natural” accidents of all types: an earthquake buries alive 70 thousand bodies in Peru, a tidal wave washes over a quarter of a million in the Indian Ocean. Creation is a nightmare spectacular taking place on a planet that has been soaked for hundreds of millions of years in the blood of all creatures. The soberest conclusion that we could make about what has actually been taking place on the planet about three billion years is that it is being turned into a vast pit of fertilizer. But the sun distracts our attention, always baking the blood dry, making things grow over it, and with its warmth giving the hope that comes with the organism’s comfort and expansiveness.”
― Ernest Becker, The Denial of Death

Moar Becker:

Life cannot go on without the mutual devouring of organisms. If at the end of each person’s life he were to be presented with the living spectacle of all that he had organismically incorporated in order to stay alive, he might well feel horrified by the living energy he had ingested. The horizon of a gourmet, or even the average person, would be taken up with hundreds of chickens, flocks of lambs and sheep, a small herd of steers, sties full of pigs, and rivers of fish. The din alone would be deafening. To paraphrase Elias Canetti, each organism raises its head over a field of corpses, smiles into the sun, and declares life good.

I hope none of these were posted. I'm really big into the early American History and Native Americans. Growing up in Alaska and Montana probably influenced that. Anyway, here are some that I like and some that I think are just humorous.

The anticipation of death is oft times worse that death itself. (seen on a Steven Seagal movie)

“Some people are like Slinkies. They aren't really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.”
― Patricia Briggs, Iron Kissed

If you take [a copy of] the Christian Bible and put it out in the wind and the rain, soon the paper on which the words are printed will disintegrate and the words will be gone. Our bible IS the wind and the rain. -Indian Proverb

"If you talk to the animals they will talk with you and you will know each other. If you do not talk to them you will not know them and what you do not know, you will fear. What one fears, one destroys." - Chief Dan George, Tsleil-Waututh Nation, British Columbia, Canada

It is better to have less thunder in the mouth and more lightning in the hand. - Apache

Poverty is a noose that strangles humility and breeds disrespect for God and man. - Sioux

All who have died are equal. – Comanche

You already possess everything necessary to become great. – Crow

A brave man dies but once, a coward many times. - Tribe Unknown.

Every animal knows more than you do. - Nez Perce

Make my enemy brave and strong, so that if defeated, I will not be ashamed. – Plains

Don't let yesterday use up too much of today. - Cherokee





Now these are people that knew how to live. By me!

If science and knowledge are
supposedly pursued for its own sake, then how about the
knowledge that life has no discernable purpose, knowledge
that happiness, wonder, and curiosity are based in material
organizations that were likely selected for their evolutionary
survival value, and knowledge that there is no
fundamentally rational basis for choosing life over death.
Nihilism, noted Friedrich Nietzsche, “represents the
ultimate logical conclusion of our great values and
ideals”. This is the bankrupt, philosophical disaster area
the West dwells in. I see no “bottom”, no limits to stop the
freefall into value nothingness. Implicit in nihilism is the
collapse of the entire human cause. The ultimate logical
conclusion of Western values is the rational self-destruction
of the West.
Is this absurd? If this is absurd then it must also be absurd
that I rage at the entire cosmos for having no ultimate
meaning.
But there is no reason to be pessimistic. There is no
justification whatsoever for a negative attitude! There is no
justification whatsoever for a positive attitude! There is no
justification whatsoever for a neutral attitude!
Who knows what will happen with certainty? I could be
strolling down the street, being beautiful, on my way to kill
myself, when suddenly I am run over by a bus.
But wait a minute. Why am I doing this? Ah, yes, now I
remember the punchline:
I’ll try anything once!
There is nothing to take seriously!

-Mitchel Heisman.
