Aging, Sickness and Death are Part of the Scenery
Tell your heart that the fear of suffering
is worse than the suffering itself.
- Paulo Coelho
Some people are so afraid to die that they never begin to live.
- Henry Van Dyke
It is idle to dread what you cannot avoid.
- Publilius Syrus
It is not death or pain that is to be dreaded,
but the fear of pain or death.
- Epictetus
Old age and sickness bring out the essential characteristics of a man.
- Felix Frankfurter
We are not victims of aging, sickness and death.
These are part of scenery, not the seer,
who is immune to any form of change.
This seer is the spirit, the expression of eternal being.
- Deepak Chopra
There can be no happiness when one lives in fear.
Whatever the future holds, fear will not improve tomorrow,
and it will destroy your happiness today.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
