Best Quotes about Death
Fear of death has been the greatest ally of tyranny past and present.
Hook, Sydney
Either he's dead or my watch has stopped.
Marx, Groucho
Life is a loss of time.
Kocher, Gerhard
Death does determine life. Once life is finished it acquires a sense; up to that point it has not got a sense; its sense is suspended and therefore ambiguous. However, to be sincere I must add that for me death is important only if it is not justified and rationalized by reason. For me death is the maximum of epicness and death.
Pasolini, Pier Paolo
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
Death is like an arrow that is already in flight, and your life lasts only until it reaches you.
Hermes, Georg
Death is nothing to us, since when we are, death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.
Epicurus
At death we cross from one territory to another, but we'll have no trouble with visas. Our representative is already there, preparing for our arrival. As citizens of heaven, our entrance is incontestable.
Lutzer, Erwin W.
O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? [1 Corinthians 15:55]
Bible
Death is the king of this world: 'Tis his park where he breeds life to feed him. Cries of pain are music for his banquet
Eliot, George
I will be conquered; I will not capitulate.
Johnson, Samuel
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
Death is the golden key that opens the palace of eternity.
Milton, John
Our dead are never dead to us, until we have forgotten them.
Eliot, George
For 'Tis not in mere death that men die most.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett
Our repugnance to death increases in proportion to our consciousness of having lived in vain.
Hazlitt, William
He was exhaled; his great Creator drew His spirit, as the sun the morning dew.
Dryden, John
A useless life is an early death.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
There is nothing which at once affects a man so much and so little as his own death.
Butler, Samuel
The death of what's dead is the birth of what's living.
Guthrie, Arlo
If life must not be taken too seriously -- then so neither must death.
Butler, Samuel
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
Death destroys a man, the idea of Death saves him.
Forster, Edward M.
We are but tenants and shortly the great landlord will give us notice that our lease has expired.
Jefferson, Joseph
The fear of death often proves mortal, and sets people on methods to save their Lives, which infallibly destroy them.
Addison, Joseph
I look upon life as a gift from God. I did nothing to earn it. Now that the time is coming to give it back, I have no right to complain.
Cary, Joyce
Some dying men are the most tyrannical; and certainly, since they will shortly trouble us so little for evermore, the poor fellows ought to be indulged.
Melville, Herman
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
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
Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't come to yours.
Berra, Yogi
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
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
Death doesn't frighten me.
Diana, Princess of Wales
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
There is no such thing as death. In nature nothing dies. From each sad remnant of decay, some forms of life arise so shall his life be taken away before he knoweth that he hath it.
Mackay, Charles
So every bondman in his own hand bears the power to cancel his captivity.
William Shakespeare
It is as natural to die as to be born; and to a little infant, perhaps, the one is as painful as the other.
Bacon, Francis
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
I hope the leaving is joyful; and I hope never to return.
Frida Kahlo
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
Death is more universal than life; everyone dies but not everyone lives.
A. Sachs
Death always waits. The door of the hearse is never closed.
Bayly, Joseph
Like pilgrims to the appointed place we tend; The world's an inn, and death the journey's end.
Dryden, John
To be born free is an accident; To live free a responsibility; To die free is an obligation.
Davis, Mrs Hubbard
Many people die at twenty five and aren't buried until they are seventy five.
Franklin, Benjamin
We are not victims of aging, sickness and death. These are part of scenery, not the seer, who is immune to any form of change. This seer is the spirit, the expression of eternal being.
Chopra, Deepak
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
Most of us die with much of our beautiful music still in us, un-sung, un-played.
Bright, Grant M.
When death comes it is never our tenderness that we repent from, but our severity.
Eliot, George
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
