Courage in Facing Death

Which of the two days of death do I fear? The day in which it was not decreed for me to die, or the day in which death was preordained for me.  As for the former, I fear it not [it will not happen].  And as for the latter, it is destined to happen, and even cautious ones cannot be saved on that day.

—‘Ali b. Abi Tālib
