“When we fully understand the
brevity of life, its fleeting joys and unavoidable pains; when we accept the
facts that all men and women are approaching an inevitable doom: the
consciousness of it should make us more kindly and considerate of each other. This
feeling should make men and women use their best efforts to help their fellow
travelers on the road, to make the path brighter and easier as we journey on.
It should bring a closer kinship, a better understanding, and a deeper sympathy
for the wayfarers who must live a common life and die a common death.”
Clarence Darrow
