Man on Earth is able to perform the most lofty exploits of the intelligence: To measure the stars;

To study distant worlds;

To overcome gravity and hurl himself into space;

To traverse the aerial realms;

To govern the ocean;

To control the forces of nature;

To transmit speech and image from point to point on the Earth;

To analyze the essence of light;

To climb the Himalayas;

To cool the sands of the Gobi;

To warm Siberia;

To bring up the treasures of the subsoil;

To build skyscrapers;

To intervene in genetics;

To abolish physical pain;

To prevent epidemics;

To weaken infection;

To graft organs and tissues from one body into the structure of another;

To prolong human existence;

To alter the life of animals and plants;

To promote all scientific experiments;

To shape dreams of art;

To express in words the most complex thoughts . . . .

All these prodigies man on Earth can perform, nevertheless, it is in the law of the universe that no one can escape the surgery of death.

Brothers, in thinking over your problems think this over, too.
