Death

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
Death Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Death

1.
It is impossible that anything so natural, so necessary, and so universal as death, should ever have been designed by Providence as an evil to mankind.
Jonathan Swift

2.
I suppose that I shall have to die beyond my means.
Oscar Wilde

3.
Nothing that is really good and God-like dies.
Arndt, Ernest Moritz

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.
See in what peace a Christian can die.
Addison, Joseph

6.
I hate funerals and would not attend my own if it could be avoided, but it is well for every man to stop once in a while to think of what sort of a collection of mourners he is training for his final event.
Morris, Robert T.

7.
Must not all things at the last be swallowed up in death?
Plato

8.
He was exhaled; his great Creator drew His spirit, as the sun the morning dew.
Dryden, John

9.
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

10.
For 'Tis not in mere death that men die most.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

11.
He has gone over to the majority.
Petronius

12.
I'd rather die while I'm living then live while I'm dead.
Buffett, Jimmy

13.
Loss and possession, Death and life are one. There falls no shadow where There shines no sun.
Belloc, Hilaire

14.
Neither the sun nor death can be looked at with a steady eye
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

15.
As death, when we come to consider it closely, is the true goal of our existence, I have formed during the last few years such close relations with this best and truest friend of mankind, that his image is not only no longer terrifying to me, but is indeed very soothing and consoling! And I thank my God for graciously granting me the opportunity of learning that death is the key which unlocks the door to our true happiness.
Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus

16.
Against self-slaughter there is a prohibition so divine that cravens my weak hand.
William Shakespeare

17.
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

18.
Know one knows whether death, which people fear to be the greatest evil, may not be the greatest good.
Plato

19.
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.

20.
The fear of death is more to be dreaded than death itself.
Publilius Syrus

21.
I am not dying, not anymore than any of us are at any moment. We run, hopefully as fast as we can, and then everyone must stop. We can only choose how we handle the race.
Hugh Elliott

22.
He who is obsessed by death is made guilty by it.
Canetti, Elias

23.
Being prepared for loss is never the same as being ready for it.
Randy K. Milholland

24.
The pomp of death is far more terrible than death itself.
Lee, Nathaniel

25.
Ignore death up to the last moment; then, when it can't be ignored any longer, have yourself squirted full of morphia and shuffle off in a coma. Thoroughly sensible, humane and scientific, eh?
Huxley, Aldous

26.
The life of the dead is placed in the memory of the living.
Cicero, Marcus T.

27.
Let death be daily before your eyes, and you will never entertain any abject thought, nor too eagerly covet anything.
Epictetus

28.
Death is like an arrow that is already in flight, and your life lasts only until it reaches you.
Hermes, Georg

29.
It is hard to have patience with people who say There is no death or Death doesn't matter. There is death. And whatever is matters. And whatever happens has consequences, and it and they are irrevocable and irreversible. You might as well say that birth doesn't matter.
Lewis, C. S.

30.
As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up: so man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep. [Job 14:11-12]
Bible

31.
An evil life is a kind of death.
Ovid

32.
Men are never really willing to die except for the sake of freedom: therefore they do not believe in dying completely.
Camus, Albert

33.
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

34.
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

35.
Death never takes the wise man by surprise, he is always ready to go.
La Fontaine, Jean De

36.
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

37.
Land and sea, weakness and decline are great separators, but death is the great divorcer for ever.
Keats, John

38.
Don't strew me with roses after I'm dead. When Death claims the light of my brow No flowers of life will cheer me: instead You may give me my roses now!
Healey, Thomas F.

39.
The fear of death often proves mortal, and sets people on methods to save their Lives, which infallibly destroy them.
Addison, Joseph

40.
When one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language.
Donne, John

41.
Death is but a passage. It is not a house, it is only a vestibule. The grave has a door on its inner side.
Maclaren, Alexander

42.
Because of its tremendous solemnity death is the light in which great passions, both good and bad, become transparent, no longer limited by outward appearances.
Kierkegaard, SĀ°ren

43.
Only those are fit to live who are not afraid to die.
Macarthur, Douglas

44.
I never think he is quite ready for another world who is altogether weary of this.
Hamilton, Hugh

45.
For three days after death hair and fingernails continue to grow but phone calls taper off.
Johnny Carson

46.
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

47.
But life is sweet, though all that makes it sweet. Lessen like sound of friends departing feet; And death is beautiful as feet of friend. Coming with welcome at our journey's end.
Lowell, James Russell

48.
The dead look so terribly dead when they're dead.
W. Somerset Maugham

49.
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

50.
We are but tenants and shortly the great landlord will give us notice that our lease has expired.
Jefferson, Joseph
