I think living the blessed life is the luck of the draw.

Summary

This quote suggests that the concept of living a blessed life is primarily determined by chance or fate. It implies that some individuals are simply fortunate enough to have pleasant circumstances, happiness, or favorable experiences, while others may not have the same level of luck. The statement challenges the idea of complete control over one's blessings, insinuating that certain factors may be beyond personal influence, attributing them instead to a random selection process.

Death cancels everything but truth; and strips a man of ever

Death cancels everything but truth; and strips a man of everything but genius and virtue. It is a sort of natural canonization. It makes the meanest of us sacred --it installs the poet in his immortality, and lifts him to the skies. Death is the greatest assayer of the sterling ore of talent. At his touch the dropsy particles fall off, the irritable, the personal, the gross, and mingle with the dust --the finer and more ethereal part mounts with winged spirit to watch over our latest memory, and protect our bones from insult. We consign the least worthy qualities to oblivion, and cherish the nobler and imperishable nature with double pride and fondness.

William Hazlitt
