  1. A quotation from Ben Franklin

    One to destroy, is Murder by the Law,
       And Gibbets keep the lifted Hand in Awe.
    To murder Thousands, takes a specious Name,
       War’s glorious Art, and gives immortal Fame.
    O great Alliance! O divine Renown!
       With Death and Pestilence to share the Crown!
    When Men extol a wild Destroyer’s Name,
       Earth’s Builder and Preserver they blaspheme.

    Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) American statesman, scientist, philosopher, aphorist
    Poor Richard (1747 ed.)

  5. A quotation from C. C. Colton

    Of present fame think little, and of future less; the praises that we receive after we are buried, like the posies that are strewed over our grave, may be gratifying to the living, but they are nothing to the dead; the dead are gone, either to a place where they hear them not, or where, if they do, they will despise them.

    Charles Caleb "C. C." Colton (1780-1832) English cleric, writer, aphorist
    Lacon: Or, Many Things in Few Words, Vol. 2, § 277 (1822)

  11. A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

    Soon you will have forgotten the world, and soon the world will have forgotten you.

    Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher

  12. A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

    This mortal life is a little thing, lived in a little corner of the earth; and little, too, is the longest fame to come — dependent as it is on a succession of fast-perishing little men who have no knowledge even of their own selves, much less of one long dead and gone.
     
    [μικρὸν μὲν οὖν ὃ ζῇ ἕκαστος: μικρὸν δὲ τὸ τῆς γῆς γωνίδιον ὅπου ζῇ: μικρὸν δὲ καὶ ἡ μηκίστη ὑστεροφημία καὶ αὕτη δὲ κατὰ διαδοχὴν ἀνθρωπαρίων τάχιστα τεθνηξομένων καὶ οὐκ εἰδότων οὐδὲ ἑαυτοὺς οὐδέ γε τὸν πρόπαλαι τεθνηκότα.]

    Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher
    Meditations [To Himself; Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν], Book 3, ch. 10 (3.10) (AD 161-180) [tr. Staniforth (1964)]
