A dislike of death is no proof of the want of religion. The instincts of nature shrink from it, for no creature can like its own dissolution. But though death is not desired, the result of it may be, for dying to the Christian is the way to life eternal.
I gave my beauty and my youth to men. I am going to give my wisdom and experience to animals.
The moment you give up your principles, and your values, you are dead, your culture is dead, your civilization is dead. Period.
