" Who is it that is not afraid to die? I will tell you. The person who is a believer. Fear death? Thank God, I do not. A deadly epidemic may come. I pray to God that it will not, but if it does, it does not matter to me. I will work and visit the sick by night and day until I drop; and if it takes me, sudden death is sudden glory. And so it is with the weakest saint. The prospect of ending this life does not make you tremble. Sometimes you are afraid, but more often you rejoice. You can sit down and calmly think about dying. What is death? It is a low doorway through which you must stoop to enter heaven. What is life? It is a thin screen that separates us from glory; and death kindly opens it! "
― Charles Haddon Spurgeon , Peace and Purpose in Trial and Suffering
