“In those days it was either live with music or die with noise, and we chose rather desperately to live.”

“Either we live by accident and die by accident, or we live by plan and die by plan.”

“We are not living in the land of the living and going to the land of the dying, but rather, we are living in the land of the dying and going to the land of the living.”

“If there were any plan in the universe at all, if there were any pattern in human life, surely it could be discovered mysteriously latent in those lives so suddenly cut off. Either we live by accident and die by accident, or we live by plan and die by plan.”

“Everyone dies. The choice and the challenge are in how we chose to live. And the more meaning you find in your life, the more reason you have to live.”

“We can lay down our lives for those we love not by physically dying for them but rather by living for them—giving of our time; always being present in their lives; serving them; being courteous, affectionate, and showing true love for those of our family and to all men—as the Savior taught.”
