Best Quotes about Death

1.
Most of us die with much of our beautiful music still in us, un-sung, un-played.
Bright, Grant M.

2.
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

3.
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

4.
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

5.
O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? [1 Corinthians 15:55]
Bible

6.
Life is the jailer, death the angel sent to draw the unwilling bolts and set us free.
Lowell, James Russell

7.
Creation destroys as it goes, throws down one tree for the rise of another. But ideal mankind would abolish death, multiply itself million upon million, rear up city upon city, save every parasite alive, until the accumulation of mere existence is swollen to a horror.
Lawrence, D. H.

8.
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

9.
Death is like an arrow that is already in flight, and your life lasts only until it reaches you.
Hermes, Georg

10.
I'm not afraid to die, I just don't want to be there when it happens.
Allen, Woody

11.
It is not death, but dying, which is terrible.
Fielding, Henry

12.
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

13.
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

14.
I'd rather die while I'm living then live while I'm dead.
Buffett, Jimmy

15.
When one by one our ties are torn, and friend from friend is snatched forlorn; When man is left alone to mourn, oh! then how sweet it is to die!
Barbauld, Anna Letitia

16.
Death is a release from the impressions of the senses, and from desires that make us their puppets, and from the vagaries of the mind, and from the hard service of the flesh.
Aurelius, Marcus

17.
When you lose someone you love, you die too, and you wait around for your body to catch up.
John Scalzi

18.
I will be conquered; I will not capitulate.
Johnson, Samuel

19.
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

20.
The last suit that you wear, you don't need any pockets.
Dyer, Wayne

21.
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

22.
The dead cannot cry out for justice; it is a duty of the living to do so for them.
Lois McMaster Bujold

23.
We all labor against our own cure, for death is the cure of all diseases.
Browne, Sir Thomas

24.
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

25.
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death. [New Testament]
Bible

26.
On the plus side, death is one of the few things that can be done just as easily as lying down.
Allen, Woody

27.
We need not fear life, because God is the Ruler of all and we need not fear death, because He shares immortality with us.
Landers, Ann

28.
If life must not be taken too seriously -- then so neither must death.
Butler, Samuel

29.
A useless life is an early death.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

30.
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

31.
Death is the final wake-up call.
Horton, Doug

32.
These have not the hope to die.
Dante Alighieri

33.
I'm afraid I'm being an awful nuisance.

A person doesn't die when he should but when he can.
Marquez, Gabriel Garcia

How strange this fear of death is! We are never frightened at a sunset.
Macdonald, George

39.
Loss and possession, Death and life are one. There falls no shadow where There shines no sun.
Belloc, Hilaire

40.
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.
Conrad, Joseph

41.
To leave is to die a little... one leaves behind a little of oneself at any hour, at any place.
Haracourt, Edmond

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

43.
Yet nightly pitch my moving tent, a day's march nearer home.
Montgomery, James

44.
The fear of death often proves mortal, and sets people on methods to save their Lives, which infallibly destroy them.
Addison, Joseph

45.
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

46.
When a great man dies, for years the light he leaves behind him, lies on the paths of men.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth

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

Book Of Common Prayer

49.
He had been, he said, an unconscionable time dying; but he hoped that they would excuse it.
Charles II

50.
A man should not leave this earth with unfinished business. He should live each day as if it was a pre-flight check. He should ask each morning, am I prepared to lift-off?
Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider
