“Death preserves an ideal.”

“Idealism is the death of the body and the imagination. All but freedom, utter freedom, is death”

“Or heritage and ideals, our code and standards - the things we live by and teach our children - are preserved or diminished by how freely we exchange ideas and feelings.”

“There is no merit to discipline under ideal circumstances. I must have it in the face of death or it is worthless.”

“Are ideals attainable? Do we live to abolish death? No-we live to fear it and then again to love it, and just for death's sake it is that our spark of life glows for an hour now and then so brightly.”

“Three men in ten conserve life; three men in ten pursue death. Three men also in ten desire to live, but there acts hasten their journey to the house of death. Why is this? Because of their efforts to preserve life.”
