When the sun goes below the horizon, he is not set; the heavens glow for a full hour after his departure, and, when a great and good person sets, the sky of this world is luminous long after he is out of sight. Such a person cannot die out of this world. When he goes he leaves behind much of himself............Henry Ward Beecher
