NORRIS, John Quotes
(1657-1711), English clergyman
I know of but one remedy against the fear of death that is effectual and that will stand the test either of a sick-bed, or of a sound mind—that is, a good life a clear conscience, an honest heart, and a well-ordered conversation; to carry the thoughts of dying men about us and so to live before we die as we shall wish we had when we come to it.
Our discontent is from comparison: were better states unseen, each man would like his own.
