“Woe, destruction, ruin, and decay; the worst is death and death will have his day.”

“Death, decay, entropy, and destruction are the true suspensions of God's laws; miracles are the early glimpses of restoration.”

“I was realizing, for the first time, that everything goes on, turns gray, is ruined in the living. That there is no end to our story until death comes and the body decays...”

“Who would have listened to his tales of woe when his love was the flickering lamp over his own decaying tomb?”

“The worst that can possibly have happened to him is death and that we are all in for---if not this morning, then in days, or weeks, or years at most.”

“Until one day when, as well as his spiritual death, physical death appears; at that moment God will ask: "what did you do with your life?" We must all answer this question, and woe betides those who answer: "I remained standing at the door.”
