Motivational Quotes
Death
I have wrestled with death. It is the most unexciting contest you can imagine. It takes place in an impalpable grayness, with nothing underfoot, with nothing around, without spectators, without clamor, without glory, without the great desire of victory, without the great fear of defeat.
Best Quotes about Death
He who is obsessed by death is made guilty by it.
Canetti, Elias
When I die I want to decompose in a barrel of porter and have it served in all the pubs in Dublin.
Donleavy, J. P.
Death is nothing to us, since when we are, death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.
Epicurus
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

Hubbard, Elbert
Death destroys a man, the idea of Death saves him.

Bryant, William C.
So that he seemed not to relinquish life, but to leave one home for another.
Nepos, Cornelius
Never knock on Death's door: ring the bell and run away! Death really hates that!
Matt Frewer
Perhaps the whole root of our trouble, the human trouble, is that we will sacrifice all the beauty of our lives, will imprison ourselves in totems, taboos, crosses, blood sacrifices, steeples, mosques, races, armies, flags, nations, in order to deny the fact of death, which is the only fact we have.
Baldwin, James
Death doesn't affect the living because it has not happened yet. Death doesn't concern the dead because they have ceased to exist.
Maugham, W. Somerset
Living is a sickness to which sleep provides relief every sixteen hours. It's a palliative. The remedy is death.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De
The art of living well and the art of dying well are one.
Epicurus
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
Think not disdainfully of death, but look on it with favor; for even death is one of the things that Nature wills.
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
My idea of walking into the jaws of death is marrying some woman who has lost three husbands.
Hubbard, Kin
Though it be in the power of the weakest arm to take away life, it is not in the strongest to deprive us of death.
Browne, Sir Thomas
Death is as sure for that which is born, as birth is for that which is dead. Therefore grieve not for what is inevitable.
Bhagavad Gita
As men, we are all equal in the presence of death.
Publilius Syrus
Life is one of the most important causes of death.
Kocher, Gerhard
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
How gladly would I meet mortality, my sentence, and be earth in sensible! how glad would lay me down, as in my mother's lap! There I should rest, and sleep secure.
Milton, John
We sometimes congratulate ourselves at the moment of waking from a troubled dream; it may be so the moment after death.
Hawthorne, Nathaniel
If you live to be one hundred, you've got it made. Very few people die past that age.
George Burns
I don't believe in an after life, although I am bringing a change of underwear.
Allen, Woody
I stay a little longer, as one stays, to cover up the embers that still burn.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth
As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death.

Beecher, Henry Ward
'Tis the maddest trick a man can ever play in his whole life, to let his breath sneak out of his body without any more ado, and without so much as a rap o'er the pate, or a kick of the guts; to go out like the snuff of a farthing candle, and die merely of the mulligrubs, or the sullens.
Cervantes, Miguel De
He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.
