Famous quotes containing the words remains and/or graves:

    “The advantage of riches remains with him who procured them, not with the heir.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Their bodies are buried in peace; but their name liveth for evermore.”
    —Apocrypha. Ecclesiasticus, 44:14.

    The line “their name liveth for evermore” was chosen by Rudyard Kipling on behalf of the Imperial War Graves Commission as an epitaph to be used in Commonwealth War Cemeteries. Kipling had himself lost a son in the fighting.
