Marcus Aurelius
“Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by.

If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.”
Marcus Aurelius

William Makepeace Thackeray
“Mother is the name for God in the lips and hearts of little children.”
William Makepeace Thackeray, Vanity Fair

Jorge Luis Borges

Jorge Luis Borges
