About going to heaven

Everyone wants to go to heaven, but no one wants to die.

Sheldon Kopp

About the gates of happiness

The gates of happiness open from within.

Soren Kierkegaard

About not envying the young

Why would someone who is growing old envy young people? Because of the possibilities they have, the future that awaits them? ‘No, thank you’, he will think. ‘Instead of possibilities I count with the realities of my past, not only the reality of the work done and the love loved, but of the sufferings bravely suffered. These sufferings are precisely the things I am most proud of even though they inspire no envy’.

Viktor Frankl
