Communism is the death of the soul. It is the organization of total conformity - in short, of tyranny - and it is committed to making tyranny universal.

Adlai Stevenson II

The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends, and where the other begins?

Edgar Allan Poe

I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.

Nelson Mandela

In various misfortunes, say: 'Lord, I believe that I endure what is due and receive what I deserve. But You, Lord, in Your mercy, forgive and have mercy on me,' - and repeat this until you feel peace in your soul.

Nectarius of Optina

Death, when understood by men, is deathlessness: but, when not understood by the foolish, it is death. It is not this death that must be feared, but the loss of the soul, which is ignorance of God.

Anthony the Great
