Tot species, tantosque ortus variosque novatus
una dies aperit, conficit ipsa dies.

So many lovely things, so rare, so young, A day begat them, and a day will end.

This poem used to be misattributed to Virgil, but is now usually ascribed to Ausonius.Ausonius
Contra primus itaque causas pugnare debemus; causa autem iracundiae opinio iniuriae est, cui non facile credendum est. Ne apertis quidem manifestisque statim accedendum; quaedam enim falsa ueri speciem ferunt. Dandum semper est tempus: ueritatem dies aperit.
Seneca the Younger
Think of the earth as a living organism that is being attacked by billions of bacteria whose numbers double every forty years. Either the host dies, or the virus dies, or both die.
Gore Vidal
In any man who dies there dies with him,
his first snow and kiss and fight.Yevgeny Yevtushenko
Man dies in despair while the Spirit dies in ecstasy.
Honore de Balzac
