On live and death...
I don't mind dying, except that it lasts so damned long. (If you believe the rumors)
I don't mind taking the trip, but I refuse to board the bus until after I hear "last call."
Live life with honor, courage, and compassion, and you shall live well all the days of your life. (I don't know if this actually true, but in the absence of a better plan, I'll buy it)
Never worry about living so much that you forget to live. (Had to look at this twice, and frankly, it made more sense the second time.)
**As my kid brother used to say at the end of every episode of Star Trek:
"Live long and popper!"
