The Lord giveth, and he taketh away", you have not yet known the God of love, for God giveth only. God never takes that which has not been given.

Everybody is afraid of death for the simple reason that we have not tasted of life yet. The man who knows what life is, is never afraid of death; he welcomes death.

Rebirth can never come without death.
