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.
Few cross the river of time and are able to reach non-being. Most of them run up and down only on this side of the river. But those who when they know the law follow the path of the law, they shall reach the other shore and go beyond the realm of death.
Dhammapada

3.
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the darkness at Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.
Hauer, Rutger

4.
It is natural to die as to be born.
Bacon, Francis

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

6.
The world is the mirror of myself dying.
Miller, Henry

7.
If some persons died, and others did not die, death would be a terrible affliction.
La Bruyere, Jean De

8.
There are worse things in life than death. Have you ever spent an evening with an insurance salesman?
Woody Allen

9.
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

10.
Death is the final wake-up call.
Horton, Doug

11.
To leave is to die a little... one leaves behind a little of oneself at any hour, at any place.
Haracourt, Edmond

12.
He who is obsessed by death is made guilty by it.
Canetti, Elias

13.
Death is the enemy. I spent 10 years of my life singlemindedly studying, practicing, fighting hand to hand in close quarters to defeat the enemy, to send him back bloodied and humble and I am not going to roll over and surrender.
Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider

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

16.
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

17.
Fish die belly upward, and rise to the surface. Its their way of falling.
Gide, Andre

18.
We all of us waited for him to die. The family sent him a check every month, and hoped he'd get on with it quietly, without too much vulgar fuss.
Osborne, John

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

20.
There is some comfort in dying surrounded by one's children.
Ann Radcliffe

21.
As for death one gets used to it, even if it's only other people's death you get used to.
Bagnold, Enid

22.
Oh you who have been removed from God in his solitude by the abyss of time, how can you expect to reach him without dying?
Hallaj

23.
I don't want to achieve immortality through my work... I want to achieve it through not dying.
Woody Allen

24.
Either he's dead or my watch has stopped.
Marx, Groucho

25.
Between my head and my hand, there is always the face of death.
Picabia, Francis

26.
It hath often been said that it is not death but dying that is terrible.
Fielding, Henry

27.
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.

28.
Living is death; dying is life. We are not what we appear to be. On this side of the grave we are exiles, on that citizens; on this side orphans, on that children;
Beecher, Henry Ward

29.
One should die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

30.
Like pilgrims to the appointed place we tend; The world's an inn, and death the journey's end.
Dryden, John

31.
The only religious way to think of death is as part and parcel of life.
Mann, Thomas

32.
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

33.
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

34.
That last day does not bring extinction to us, but change of place.
Cicero, Marcus T.

35.
As we look deeply within, we understand our perfect balance. There is no fear of the cycle of birth, life and death. For when you stand in the present moment, you are timeless.
Rodney Yee

36.
Die when I may, I want it said of me by those who knew me best, that I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower where I thought a flower would grow.
Lincoln, Abraham

37.
A dying man needs to die, as a sleepy man needs to sleep, and there comes a time when it is wrong, as well as useless, to resist.
Alsop, Steward

38.
Pale death with an impartial foot knocks at the hovels of the poor and the palaces of king.
Horace

39.
When you lose someone you love, you die too, and you wait around for your body to catch up.
John Scalzi

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

At birth man is offered only one choice --the choice of his death. But if this choice is governed by distaste for his own existence, his life will never have been more than meaningless.
Melville, Jean-Pierre

43.
Only the young die good.
Herford, Oliver

44.
He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.
Einstein, Albert

45.
The fact that when we die we are nothing more than worm meat---I just don't think about it.
Robin Green and Mitchell Burgess

O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? [1 Corinthians 15:55]
Bible

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

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

Death is someone you see very clearly with eyes in the center of your heart: eyes that see not by reacting to light, but by reacting to a kind of a chill from within the marrow of your own life.
