- Barbauld, Anna Letitia

Best Quotes about Death

If you don't think your life is worth more than someone else's, sign your donor card and kill yourself now.

Matthew V. Lewis

Woe, woe, woe... in a little while we shall all be dead. Therefore let us behave as though we were dead already.

Chandler, Raymond

Your body must become familiar with its death -- in all its possible forms and degrees -- as a self-evident, imminent, and emotionally neutral step on the way towards the goal you have found worthy of your life.

Hammarskjold, Dag

The dead should be judged like criminals, impartially, but they should be allowed the benefit of the doubt.

Butler, Samuel

We all labor against our own cure, for death is the cure of all diseases.

Browne, Sir Thomas

See in what peace a Christian can die.

Addison, Joseph

Herford, Oliver

Arnold, Matthew

10.

I am going to concentrate on what's important in life. I'm going to strive everyday to be a kind and generous and loving person. I'm going to keep death right here, so that anytime I even think about getting angry at you or anybody else, I'll see death and I'll remember.

Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider

11.

Loss and possession, Death and life are one. There falls no shadow where There shines no sun.

Belloc, Hilaire

12.

Well, there's a remedy for all things but death, which will be sure to lay us flat one time or other.

Cervantes, Miguel De

13.

Death cancels everything but truth; and strips a man of everything but genius and virtue. It is a sort of natural canonization. It makes the meanest of us sacred --it installs the poet in his immortality, and lifts him to the skies. Death is the greatest assayer of the sterling ore of talent. At his touch the dropsy particles fall off, the irritable, the personal, the gross, and mingle with the dust --the finer and more ethereal part mounts with winged spirit to watch over our latest memory, and protect our bones from insult. We consign the least worthy qualities to oblivion, and cherish the nobler and imperishable nature with double pride and fondness.

Hazlitt, William

14.

On the plus side, death is one of the few things that can be done just as easily lying down.

Woody Allen

15.

That last day does not bring extinction to us, but change of place.

Cicero, Marcus T.

16.

We do not die because we have to die; we die because one day, and not so long ago, our consciousness was forced to deem it necessary.

Antonin Artaud

17.

Death never takes the wise man by surprise, he is always ready to go.

La Fontaine, Jean De

18.

There was something awesome in the thought of the solitary mortal standing by the open window and summoning in from the gloom outside the spirits of the nether world.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

19.

I would not that death should take me asleep. I would not have him merely seize me, and only declare me to be dead, but win me, and overcome me. When I must shipwreck, I would do it in a sea, where mine impotency might have some excuse; not in a sullen weedy lake, where I could not have so much as exercise for my swimming.

Donne, John

20.

'Tis all a Checker-board of Nights and days where Destiny with Men for Pieces plays: Hither and thither moves, and mates and slays, and one by one back in the Closet lays.

Khayyam, Omar

21.

Death has but one terror, that it has no tomorrow.

Hoffer, Eric

22.

Men fear death, as if unquestionably the greatest evil, and yet no man knows that it may not be the greatest good.

Mitford, William

23.

The call of death is a call of love. Death can be sweet if we answer it in the affirmative, if we accept it as one of the great eternal forms of life and transformation.

Hesse, Hermann

24.

Dying is a very dull, dreary affair. My advice to you is to have nothing whatever to do with it.

Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

25.

The infant runs toward it with its eyes closed, the adult is stationary, the old man approaches it with his back turned.

Diderot, Denis

26.

It is not death that alarms me, but dying.

Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

27.

Death may be the King of terrors... but Jesus is the King of kings!

Moody, Dwight L.

28.

It is simply untrue that all our institutions are evil that all politicians are mere opportunists, that all aspects of university life are corrupt. Having discovered an illness, it's not terribly useful to prescribe death as a cure.

Mcgovern, George

29.

It is not death, but dying, which is terrible.

Fielding, Henry

30.

Death is a Dialogue between, the Spirit and the Dust.

Dickinson, Emily

31.

I don't believe in an after life, although I am bringing a change of underwear.

Allen, Woody

32.

I am ready to meet my maker, but whether my maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter.

Churchill, Winston

33.

When a great man dies, for years the light he leaves behind him, lies on the paths of men.

Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth

34.

We should weep for men at their birth, not at their death.

Montesquieu, Charles De

35.

Between my head and my hand, there is always the face of death.

Picabia, Francis

36.

A few can touch the magic string, and noisy fame is proud to win them: Alas for those that never sing, but die with all their music in them!

Holmes, Oliver Wendell

37.

Teach me to live that I may dread, the grave as little as my bed.

Ken, Thomas
