- Butler, Samuel
Death Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Death

1.
It's no accident that the church and the graveyard stand side by side. The city of the dead sleeps encircled by the city of the living.
Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider

2.
Pale Death with impartial tread beats at the poor man's cottage door and at the palaces of kings.
Horace

3.
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

4.
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

5.
Man that is born of woman hath but a short time to live, and is full of misery. He comet up, and is cut down, like a flower; he fleeth as it were a shadow, and never continueth in one stay.
Book Of Common Prayer

6.
To be born free is an accident; To live free a responsibility; To die free is an obligation.
Davis, Mrs Hubbard

7.
The art of living well and the art of dying well are one.
Epicurus

8.
Death is a commingling of eternity with time; in the death of a good man, eternity is seen looking through time.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

9.
Not by lamentations and mournful chants ought we to celebrate the funeral of a good man, but by hymns, for in ceasing to be numbered with mortals he enters upon the heritage of a diviner life.
Plutarch

10.
An orphan's curse would drag to hell, a spirit from on high; but oh! more horrible than that, is a curse in a dead man's eye!
Coleridge, Samuel Taylor

11.
I will be conquered; I will not capitulate.
Johnson, Samuel

12.
Dying is a very dull, dreary affair. My advice to you is to have nothing whatever to do with it.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

13.
A belief in hell and the knowledge that every ambition is doomed to frustration at the hands of a skeleton have never prevented the majority of human beings from behaving as though death were no more than an unfounded rumor.
Huxley, Aldous

14.
Woe, woe, woe... in a little while we shall all be dead. Therefore let us behave as though we were dead already.
Chandler, Raymond

15.
Death not merely ends life, it also bestows upon it a silent completeness, snatched from the hazardous flux to which all things human are subject.
Arendt, Hannah

16.
Let us beware of saying that death is the opposite of life. The living being is only a species of the dead, and a very rare species.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

17.
O how small a portion of earth will hold us when we are dead, who ambitiously seek after the whole world while we are living.
Philip II

18.
There is no death. the stars go down to rise upon some other shore. And bright in Heaven's jeweled crown, they shine for ever more.
Mccreery, John Luckey

19.
Life is the desert, life the solitude, death joins us to the great majority.
Young, Edward

20.
If you don't know how to die, don't worry; Nature will tell you what to do on the spot, fully and adequately. She will do this job perfectly for you; don't bother your head about it.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

21.
We need not fear life, because God is the Ruler of all and we need not fear death, because He shares immortality with us.
Landers, Ann

22.
Life, in my estimation, is a biological misadventure that we terminate on the shoulders of six strange men whose only objective is to make a hole in one with you.
Allen, Fred A.

23.
The world is the mirror of myself dying.
Miller, Henry

24.
Death is feared as birth is forgotten.
Horton, Doug

25.
Many people die at twenty five and aren't buried until they are seventy five.
Franklin, Benjamin

26.
I have a piece of great and sad news to tell you: I am dead.
Cocteau, Jean

27.
Death is the great adventure beside which moon landings and space trips pale into insignificance.
Bayly, Joseph

28.
Men are convinced of your arguments, your sincerity, and the seriousness of your efforts only by your death.
Camus, Albert

29.
Know one knows whether death, which people fear to be the greatest evil, may not be the greatest good.
Plato

30.
Now, a corpse, poor thing, is an untouchable and the process of decay is, of all pieces of bad manners, the vulgarest imaginable. For a corpse is, by definition, a person absolutely devoid of savoir vivre.
Huxley, Aldous

31.
The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. [1 Corinthians 15:26]
Bible

32.
The grave's a fine and private place, but none, I think, do there embrace.
Marvell, Andrew

33.
To a father, when a child dies, the future dies; to a child when a parent dies, the past dies.
Auerbach, Red

34.
One has to pay dearly for immortality; one has to die several times while one is still alive.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

35.
The dead should be judged like criminals, impartially, but they should be allowed the benefit of the doubt.
Butler, Samuel

36.
He who is obsessed by death is made guilty by it.
Canetti, Elias

37.
And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. [Matthew 10:28]
Bible

38.
I'd rather get my brains blown out in the wild than wait in terror at the slaughterhouse.
Craig Volk

39.
The dead look so terribly dead when they're dead.
W. Somerset Maugham

40.
Death eats up all things, both the young lamb and old sheep; and I have heard our parson say, death values a prince no more than a clown; all's fish that comes to his net; he throws at all, and sweeps stakes; he's no mower that takes a nap at noon-day, but drives on, fair weather or foul, and cuts down the green grass as well as the ripe corn: he's neither squeamish nor queesy-stomach d, for he swallows without chewing, and crams down all things into his ungracious maw; and you can see no belly he has, he has a confounded dropsy, and thirsts after men's lives, which he gurgles down like mother's milk.
Cervantes, Miguel De

41.
Life is one of the most important causes of death.
Kocher, Gerhard

42.
Unquiet souls. In the dark fermentation of earth, in the never idle workshop of nature, in the eternal movement, yea shall find yourselves again.
Arnold, Matthew

43.
Death does determine life. Once life is finished it acquires a sense; up to that point it has not got a sense; its sense is suspended and therefore ambiguous. However, to be sincere I must add that for me death is important only if it is not justified and rationalized by reason. For me death is the maximum of epicness and death.
Pasolini, Pier Paolo

44.
We all labor against our own cure, for death is the cure of all diseases.
Browne, Sir Thomas

45.
Death is the king of this world: 'Tis his park where he breeds life to feed him. Cries of pain are music for his banquet
Eliot, George

46.
When one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language.
Donne, John

47.
Fish die belly upward, and rise to the surface. Its their way of falling.
Gide, Andre

48.
There is left us ourselves to end ourselves.
William Shakespeare

49.
Death destroys a man, the idea of Death saves him.
Forster, Edward M.

50.
Fear of death has been the greatest ally of tyranny past and present.
Hook, Sydney
