Children should neither be seen nor heard from – ever again. ― W. C. Fields

---

No one you love is ever truly lost.

---

The dew of compassion is a tear.

---

There's no such thing as a tough child - if you parboil them first for seven hours, they always come out tender. ― W.C. Fields

---

Death is not extinguishing the light; it is only putting out the lamp because the dawn has come.

---

You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep spring from coming.

---

I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do, because I notice it always coincides with their own desires.

---

Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.

---

Those who live to live forever, never fear dying.

---

Pray, and let God worry.
