• Let no man write my epitaph; for as no man who knows my motives dare now vindicate them, let not prejudice or ignorance asperse them. Let them rest in obscurity and peace!

• And the end of the fight is a tombstone white with the name of the late deceased, and the epitaph drear: A Fool lies here who tried to hustle the East. (Rudyard Kipling) [fight/epitaph/fool]
• Wit is the epitaph of an emotion. (Friedrich Nietzsche) [epitaph]
• Let there be no inscription upon my tomb; let no man write my epitaph: no man can write my epitaph. (Robert Emmet) [epitaph/epitaph]
