"The premeditation of death is the premeditation of liberty; he who has learnt to die has forgot to serve."

We hold death, poverty, and grief for our principal enemies; but this death, which some repute the most dreadful of all dreadful things, who does not know that others call it the only secure harbor from the storm and tempests of life, the sovereign good of nature, the sole support of liberty, and the common and sudden remedy of all evils?

— Michel de Montaigne
