      Unlearnable Lessons on My Father’s Deathbed

      Mar 21, 2017

      I was at my father’s side much of the time in his final weeks, a witness to both the gifts and miseries of being near death. Nurses came and went, patient, long-suffering. They sat beside him for hours at a time, dousing spongy lollipops in water and

      Death

      Jul 29, 2019

      The fear of death is very puzzling, in a way that regret about the end of life is not. It’s easy to understand that we might want to have more life, more of the things it contains, so that we see death as a negative evil. But how can the prospect of

      QUOTATIONS:

      A noble mind can never swim with the stream

      A first impression is often a final one

      A small joy makes us to forget our heavy griefs

      A live dog is better than a dead king

      A well-to-do man always gets a higher price than a poor one

      A subdued tone generally provokes an equally subdued answer

      A dirty road serves when it makes for the goal

      A knot can often be untied by daylight

      A school where people learned modesty

      A word at the right time and place

      A mere nothing in one man's life, to another may be great

      A debtor, says the proverb, is half a prisoner

      A kind word hath far more power than an angry one

      A blustering word often does good service

      Abandon to the young the things we ourselves used most to enjoy

      Abandoned women (required by law to help put out the fires)

      Absence of suffering is not happiness

      Abuse not those who have outwitted thee

      Action trod on the heels of resolve

      Age is inquisitive

      Age when usually even bad liquor tastes of honey

      Aimless life of pleasure

      Air of a professional guide

      All I did was right in her eyes

      All things were alike to me

      Always more good things in a poor family which was once rich

      Among fools one must be a fool

      An admirer of the lovely color of his
