Quoting Keynes in a lecture I am teaching mathematical statistics and part of this is large sample theory. I would like to discuss some methods that do not focus on asymptotics and refer to J. M. Keynes quote


  In the long run, we are all dead.


I am a bit afraid some students might find this quote a bit too strong. 
 Could this quote be considered a bit too strong to be presented to 3rd year undergraduate students in the UK?
Opinion, of course, but I think it is fine. It is often quoted in fact. While your students probably still think of themselves as immortal, they almost certainly aren't. No one should really take offense at basic biological certainties. 

It is, in fact, a corrective on much illogical thinking, which is why it has lasted.
