According to most studies, people's number one fear is public speaking. Number two is death. Death is number two. Does that sound right? This means to the average person, if you go to a funeral, you're better off in the casket than doing the eulogy.
– Jerry Seinfeld
I have made death a messenger of joy to thee. Wherefore dost thou grieve?
– Bahá'u'lláh
I tend to think of death as being like changing your clothes when you are old and worn out, rather than as some final end.
– Dalai Lama
