Famous Aphorisms

Death is God's way of telling you not to be such a wise guy. -Unknown - Death is something that gives people thoughts about how there is limited time for everybody so everybody should try things they really want to do. In a way, death can be an inspiration to people to try new things in life and break the repetitive patterns in life.

Don't die until you're dead. -Unknown - People should never give up in life as people are not dead until they are dead. It is basically giving hope to the people who think they are hopeless. Until the moment of death, people should never stop.

God is a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh. -Voltaire - This was simply an observation made by a famous writer Voltaire. He is not trying to belittle God’s followers nor God’s existence. He observed that people will do anything to listen to God, but they are too freaked out in front of God. It is a simple metaphor about if God is a comedian, people do listen to him but people are too afraid in front of his existence.
