Adventure of a Lifetime

You've given me the adventure of a lifetime in one night and I have a feeling it's going to be a beautiful sunrise.

Amelia Earhart from “Night at the Museum 2: Battle at the Smithsonian”

 
This quote is not necessarily a nugget of wisdom but it still touched my heart. In this movie the removal of the Egyptian tablet essentially meant that the museum display of Amelia Earhart would no longer be alive. However, rather than complain about her situation, Earhart said these words. I think this is a good way to think about death. Hopefully at the end of our lives we can say that we had an adventure of a lifetime and that our death, or sunrise in this case, will be a beautiful one.
