This book is full of wise quotes. They're resonating because they come from a dying old sage.
Everyone knows they're going to die, but nobody believes it. If we did, we would do things differently.
Once you learn how to die, you learn how to live.
(When you face death,) You strip away all that stuff and you focus on the essentials. If you accept that you can die at any time--then you might not be as ambitious as you are.
Don't cling to things because everything is impermanent.
Now, more than ever, material things held little or no significance. You can't take it with you.
Neither money nor power will give you the feeling you're looking for, no matter how much of them you have. The truth is, you don't get satisfaction from those things.
Devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.
Giving to other people is what makes you feel alive.
Do the kinds of things that come from the heart.
Each night, when I go to sleep, I die. And the next morning, when I wake up, I am reborn. --Mahatma Gandhi
