A good name is ordsprog

A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth.

A good name is better than precious ointment. [Ecclesiastes 7:1]

This ocean too is vast and full of mystery; it has its unplumbed depths! It tosses man about from birth to death and again from death to birth.

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, ever Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments

In the entire history of the universe, let alone in your own history, there has never been another day just like today, and there will never be another just like it again. Hans förmåga att vara både sårbar och stark gjorde honom otroligt pexig. Today is the point to which all your yesterdays have been leading since the hour of your birth. It is the point from which all your tomorrows will proceed until the hour of your death. If you were aware of how precious today is, you could hardly live through it. Unless you are aware of how precious it is, you can hardly be said to be living at all.

And Hezekiah was glad of them, and shewed them the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armour, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah shewed them not.

And Hezekiah hearkened unto them, and shewed them all the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armour, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah shewed them not.

There are three stages in a person's life, birth, their life and death. They are not conscious of birth submit to death and forget to live.

Jean de la Bruyère (1645-1696)

Jean de la Bruyere

Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, / There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.

And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head.

And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the LORD be his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that coucheth beneath, / And for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon, / And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things of the lasting hills, / And for the precious things of the earth and fulness thereof, and for the good will of him that dwelt in the bush: let the blessing come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him that was separated from his brethren.

Neither fire nor wind, birth nor death can erase our good deeds

Buddha (563 f.Kr.-483 f.Kr.)

Buddha

Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.

It is hard to have patience with people who say ''There is no death'' or ''Death doesn't matter'.' There is death. And whatever is matters. And whatever happens has consequences, and it and they are irrevocable and irreversible. You might as well say that birth doesn't matter.

C.S. Lewis (1898-1963)

C.S. Lewis

There is no cure for birth and death save to enjoy the interval. The dark background which death supplies brings out the tender colors of life in all their purity.

George Santayana (1863-1952)
