As death, when we come to consider it closely, is the true goal of our existence, I have formed during the last few years such close relations with this best and truest friend of mankind, that his image is not only no longer terrifying to me, but is indeed very soothing and consoling And I thank my God for graciously granting me the opportunity...of learning that death is the key which unlocks the door to our true happiness.

Grant graciously what you cannot refuse safely and conciliate those you cannot conquer.

It takes a great man to give sound advice tactfully, but a greater to accept it graciously.

Romans 8:32:
He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all – how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?
(NIV)
He who did not withhold or spare [even] His own Son but gave Him up for us all, will He not also with Him freely and graciously give us all [other] things?
(AMP)
He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
(KJV)
