I bring you phrases to make the hard lessons of body examination rooms undoubtedly peaceful. Taceant colloquia. Effugiat risus. Hic locus est ubi mors gaudet succurrere vitae. Let idle talk be silenced. Let laughter be banished. Here is the place where death delights to succor life. Respice post te mortalem te esse memento. Look around you and remember that you are mortal. (According to Tertullianus, supposedly said by a slave to his master while being cheered after he’d won a hard battle to keep him from getting too big-headed.) Crudelius est quam mori semper timere mortem. (Seneca) It is crueller to be always afraid of dying than to die. Hora incerta, mors certa. Hour uncertain, death certain. (Proverb meaning that everyone will die, but no one knows when.) Memento mori. Remember your mortality. (Literally, Remember to die.) (motto of the Friars of Trappa) Hominis tota vita nihil aliud quam ad mortem iter est. (Seneca) The whole life of man is nothing else than a joumey to death.
