If you could, give me a quote about life and one about birth. I already have one about death, "Only the dead have seen the end of war." Or, if you want, just put a cool, deep quote that you think is awe-inspiring that is good enough for someones body. But I want to put it in another language.

"O descendant od Bharata, he who dwells in the body is eternal and can naver be slain. Therefore you need not grieve for any creature." (Bhagavad Gita 2.30)
Original Sanskrit:
dehi nityam avadhyo 'yam
dehe sarvasya bharata
tasmat sarvani bhutani
na tvam socitam arhasi

"Only the material body of the indestructible, immeasurable, and eternal living entity is subject to destruction; therefore, fight, O descendant of Bharata." (Bhagavad Gita 2.18)
Sanskrit:
antavanta ime deha
nityasyoktah sarinah
anasino prameyasya
tasmad yudhyasva bharata

"For the soul there is never birth nor death. Nor, once having been, does he ever cease to be. He is unborn, eternal, ever-existing, undying, and primeval. He is not slain when the body is slain." Bhagavad Gita 2.20
Sanskrit:
na jayate mriyate va kadacin
nayam bhutva bhavita va na bhuyah
ajo nityah sasvato yam purano
na hanyate hanyamane sarire

I suggest you read the Bhagavad Gita, translated by A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada (for the most insightful translation). You can also see the actual sanskrit text which can be written in English alphabet or in its original form.
