“Saudaraku, jika engkau ingin hidup dengan baik, berjuanglah untuk hidup di sepanjang sisa hidupmu di hadirat maut. ‘Ya kematian, penghakimanmu baik adanya’ (Sirakh xli. 3). Oh, betapa benar cara ia menghakimi hal-hal, betapa baik cara ia mengatur tindakan-tindakannya, yakni, orang yang menilai dan mengatur hal-hal dengan maut di hadapan matanya! Ingatan pada kematian membuat kita kehilangan rasa sayang terhadap hal-hal dari hidup ini.” - St. Alfonsus Liguori

“My brother, if you wish to live well, endeavor to live during the remainder of your life in the presence of death. ‘O death, thy judgment is good’ (Eccl. xli. 3). Oh, how truly does he judge of things, and how well does he regulate his actions, who judges and regulates them with death before his eyes! The remembrance of death makes us lose all affection for the things of this life.” - St. Alphonsus Liguori
