Hoping To Live Days Of Greater Happiness, I Forget That Days Of Less Happiness Are Passing By.
Worms'-meat, N. The Finished Product Of Which We Are The Raw Material. The Contents Of The Taj Mahal, The Tombeau Napoleon And The Granitarium. Worms'-meat Is Usually Outlasted By The Structure That Houses It, But "this Too Must Pass Away." Probably The Silliest Work In Which A Human Being Can Engage Is Construction Of A Tomb For Himself. The Solemn Purpose Cannot Dignify, But Only Accentuates By Contrast The Foreknown Futility.
The Human Body Is Constantly Undergoing A Process Of Decay And Of Reconstruction. First Builded Into The Astral Form In The Womb Of The Mother, It Is Built Up Continually By The Insetting Of Fresh Materials. With Every Moment Tiny Molecules Are Passing Away From It; With Every Moment Tiny Molecules Are Streaming Into It.
In Deference To Such Spectacular Carnage It Is Perhaps Perverse To Dwell Upon One Person's Death, But We Are Creatures So Constituted That The Passing Of One Friend Or One Acquaintance Has A Profounder Effect That That Of 100,000 Strangers. If There Is Any Metaphorical Truth In The Jewish Proverb That He Who Saves One Life Saves The Whole World, Then There Is Equal Metaphorical Truth In The Proposition That When One Person Dies, The Whole World Dies With Them.
Books Are Not About Passing The Time. They're About Other Lives. Other Worlds.
Everything In This World Will Pass Away. In Eternity Only Love Will Remain.
My Work As A Doula Also Extends All The Way To The End Of Life. I Sit At The Bedsides Of People Who Are Passing On In Hospices Or Nursing Homes, For The People And Families Who Want That Kind Of Thing.
Let Nothing Disturb You, / Nothing Dismay You; / All Things Are Passing: / God Never Changes.
Let Nothing Disturb Thee, Let Nothing Affright Thee. All Things Are Passing. Patience Obtains All Things. He Who Has God Has Everything - God Alone Suffices.
Nothing Proceeds From Nothingness, As Also Nothing Passes Away Into Non-existence.
Time Is A Sort Of River Of Passing Events, And Strong Is Its Current; No Sooner Is A Thing Brought To Sight Than It Is Swept By And Another Takes Its Place, And This Too Will Be Swept Away.
