“It is better to go to a house in mourning than to a house party, because that is everyone's destiny; and the living should take it to heart.” - Ecclesiastes 7:2

“Someday when we die we will lose all our possessions, our power, our family, everything.  Our freedom, peace and joy in the present moment is the most important thing we have.  But without an awakened understanding of impermanence, it is not possible to be happy.” - Thich Nhat Hanh
