That last day does not bring extinction to us, but change of place.
- Cicero, Marcus T.
Death Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Death

1.
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

2.
Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't come to yours.
Berra, Yogi

3.
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

4.
Death is nothing to us, since when we are, death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.
Epicurus

5.
A physician can sometimes parry the scythe of death, but has no power over the sand in the hourglass.
Thrale, Hester i

6.
Against self-slaughter there is a prohibition so divine that cravens my weak hand.
William Shakespeare

7.
Death is more universal than life; everyone dies but not everyone lives.
A. Sachs

8.
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

9.
I'd rather get my brains blown out in the wild than wait in terror at the slaughterhouse.
Craig Volk

10.
Pale death with an impartial foot knocks at the hovels of the poor and the palaces of king.
Horace

11.
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

12.
One has to pay dearly for immortality; one has to die several times while one is still alive.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

13.
There is left us ourselves to end ourselves.
William Shakespeare

14.
To you who have never died, may I say: Welcome to the world!
Barker, Clive

15.
Death is delightful. Death is dawn, the waking from a weary night of fevers unto truth and light.
Miller, Joaquin

16.
So that he seemed not to relinquish life, but to leave one home for another.
Nepos, Cornelius

17.
As men, we are all equal in the presence of death.
Publilius Syrus

18.
As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death.
Leonardo da Vinci

19.
I do not believe that any man fears to be dead, but only the stroke of death.
Bacon, Francis

20.
To die is poignantly bitter, but the idea of having to die without having lived is unbearable.
Fromm, Erich

21.
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

22.
The Father is the Giver of Life; but the Mother is the Giver of Death, because her womb is the gate of ingress to matter, and through her life is ensouled to form, and no form can be either infinite or eternal. Death is implicit in birth.
Kabbalah

23.
I have seen a thousand graves opened, and always perceived that whatever was gone, the teeth and hair remained of those who had died with them. Is not this odd? They go the very first things in youth and yet last the longest in the dust.
Byron, Lord

24.
When death comes it is never our tenderness that we repent from, but our severity.
Eliot, George

25.
Death, so called, is a thing which makes men weep, and yet a third of life is passed in sleep.
Byron, Lord

26.
These have not the hope to die.
Dante Alighieri

27.
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

28.
The report of my death was an exaggeration.
Mark Twain

29.
We are all dead men on leave.
Levine, Eugene

30.
The Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea are made of the same water. It flows down, clean and cool, from the heights of Herman and the roots of the cedars of Lebanon. the Sea of Galilee makes beauty of it, the Sea of Galilee has an outlet. It gets to give. It gathers in its riches that it may pour them out again to fertilize the Jordan plain. But the Dead Sea with the same water makes horror. For the Dead Sea has no outlet. It gets to keep.
Fosdick, Harry Emerson

31.
When one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language.
Donne, John

32.
One should die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

33.
It is difficult to accept death in this society because it is unfamiliar. In spite of the fact that it happens all the time, we never see it.
KuBler-Ross, Elisabeth

34.
A considerable percentage of the people we meet on the street are people who are empty inside, that is, they are actually already dead. It is fortunate for us that we do not see and do not know it. If we knew what a number of people are actually dead and what a number of these dead people govern our lives, we should go mad with horror.
Gurdjieff, George

35.
I have a piece of great and sad news to tell you: I am dead.
Cocteau, Jean

36.
Fish die belly upward, and rise to the surface. Its their way of falling.
Gide, Andre

37.
As virtuous men pass mildly away, and whisper to their souls to go, whilst some of their sad friends do say, the breath goes now, and some say no.
Donne, John

38.
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

39.
He has gone over to the majority.
Petronius

40.
The pride of dying rich raises the loudest laugh in hell.
Foster, John W.

41.
Only those are fit to live who are not afraid to die.
Macarthur, Douglas

42.
Any relic of the dead is precious, if they were valued living.
Bronte, Emily

43.
It is not death that alarms me, but dying.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

44.
The only religious way to think of death is as part and parcel of life.
Mann, Thomas

45.
On the plus side, death is one of the few things that can be done just as easily as lying down.
Allen, Woody

46.
Yet nightly pitch my moving tent, a day's march nearer home.
Montgomery, James

47.
So every bondman in his own hand bears the power to cancel his captivity.
William Shakespeare

48.
When a great man dies, for years the light he leaves behind him, lies on the paths of men.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth

49.
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death. [New Testament]
Bible

50.
What did it matter where you lay once you were dead? In a dirty sump or in a marble tower on top of a high hill? You were dead, you were sleeping the big sleep, you were not bothered by things like that. Oil and water were the same as wind and air to you.
Chandler, Raymond
