What They Said

“No medical skill can prevent death. Our physicians and surgeons are unwearied in their efforts to find new remedies and modes of treatment. They compass sea and land in order to prevent disease, and discover remedies, diminish pain, and lengthen life. But in spite of vaccination and quinine and chloroform, in spite of all that medicine and surgery can do—there is something which your ablest doctors find beyond their reach. When the time appointed by God comes, they cannot keep men and women alive.”

J.C. Ryle
(Christ in the Sick Room)

“Death begins a wicked man's hell, but it puts an end to a godly man’s hell.”

Thoms Watson

"The fear of death is ingrafted in the common nature of all men, but faith works it out of Christians."

Vavasor Powell

(1617-1670)
