Best Quotes about Death
How strange this fear of death is! We are never frightened at a sunset.
Macdonald, George
See in what peace a Christian can die.
Addison, Joseph
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
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
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
Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life.
Steve Jobs
I warmed both hands before the fire of life; It sinks, and I am ready to depart.
Landor, Walter Savage
Death never takes the wise man by surprise, he is always ready to go.
La Fontaine, Jean De
'Tis all a Checker-board of Nights and days where Destiny with Men for Pieces plays: Hither and thither moves, and mates and slays, and one by one back in the Closet lays.
Khayyam, Omar
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
Death is the last enemy: once we've got past that I think everything will be alright.
Ellis, Alice Thomas
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
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
Any relic of the dead is precious, if they were valued living.
Bronte, Emily
The fear of death is worse than death.
Burton, Robert
There's a strange sort of quiet when you're dying. It's as if you're in a glass room, and the walls keep getting thicker and thicker.
Gabrielle Zevin
Every man must do two things alone; he must do his own believing and his own dying.
Luther, Martin
To leave is to die a little... one leaves behind a little of oneself at any hour, at any place.
Haracourt, Edmond
For three days after death hair and fingernails continue to grow but phone calls taper off.
Johnny Carson
Let no man fear to die, we love to sleep all, and death is but the sounder sleep.
Beaumont, Francis
Death destroys a man, the idea of Death saves him.
Forster, Edward M.
Death, so called, is a thing which makes men weep, and yet a third of life is passed in sleep.
Byron, Lord
Life is the jailer, death the angel sent to draw the unwilling bolts and set us free.
Lowell, James Russell
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
Every man is born as many men and dies as a single one.
Heidegger, Martin
I'd rather get my brains blown out in the wild than wait in terror at the slaughterhouse.
Craig Volk
Our repugnance to death increases in proportion to our consciousness of having lived in vain.
Hazlitt, William
I stay a little longer, as one stays, to cover up the embers that still burn.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth
Death is like an arrow that is already in flight, and your life lasts only until it reaches you.
Hermes, Georg
The course of my long life hath reached at last in fragile bark over a tempestuous sea the common harbor, where must rendered be account for all the actions of the past.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth
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
Must not all things at the last be swallowed up in death?
Plato
No one's death comes to pass without making some impression, and those close to the deceased inherit part of the liberated soul and become richer in their humanness.
Broch, Hermann
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
Each in his narrow cell for ever laid, the rude forefathers of the hamlet sleep.
Gray, Thomas
I am going to concentrate on what's important in life. I'm going to strive everyday to be a kind and generous and loving person. I'm going to keep death right here, so that anytime I even think about getting angry at you or anybody else, I'll see death and I'll remember.
Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider
I suppose that I shall have to die beyond my means.
Oscar Wilde
Death has but one terror, that it has no tomorrow.
Hoffer, Eric
Plan for this world as if you expect to live forever; but plan for the hereafter as if you expect to die tomorrow.
Gabirol, Ibn
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death. [New Testament]
Bible
On the plus side, death is one of the few things that can be done just as easily lying down.
Woody Allen
I look upon death to be as necessary to our constitution as sleep. We shall rise refreshed in the morning.
Franklin, Benjamin
It is possible to provide security against other ills, but as far as death is concerned, we men all live in a city without walls.
Epicurus
As men, we are all equal in the presence of death.
Publilius Syrus
He whom the Gods love dies young, while he is in health, has his senses and his judgments sound.
Plautus, Titus Maccius
I'm not afraid to die, I just don't want to be there when it happens.
Allen, Woody
To awake from death is to die in peace.
Horton, Doug
He has gone over to the majority.
Petronius
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
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.
