“Achieving life is not the equivalent of avoiding death.”
“To avoid pain, they avoid pleasure. To avoid death, they avoid life.”
“You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live”
“The end of life is not to be happy, nor to achieve pleasure and avoid pain, but to do the will of God, come what may.”
“It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live.”
“life is a gift, death is an obligation, both are equally important to be able to achieve good values”
