Motivational Quotes
Death
Against self-slaughter there is a prohibition so divine that cravens my weak hand.
Best Quotes about Death
Fear of death has been the greatest ally of tyranny past and present.
Hook, Sydney
So that he seemed not to relinquish life, but to leave one home for another.
Nepos, Cornelius
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
Death is as sure for that which is born, as birth is for that which is dead. Therefore grieve not for what is inevitable.
Bhagavad Gita
You must not fear death, my lads; defy him, and you drive him into the enemy's ranks.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
It is natural to die as to be born.
Bacon, Francis
'Tis the maddest trick a man can ever play in his whole life, to let his breath sneak out of his body without any more ado, and without so much as a rap o'er the pate, or a kick of the guts; to go out like the snuff of a farthing candle, and die merely of the mulligrubs, or the sullens.
Cervantes, Miguel De
We are but tenants and shortly the great landlord will give us notice that our lease has expired.
Jefferson, Joseph
He had been, he said, an unconscionable time dying; but he hoped that they would excuse it.
Charles II
Is it sin to rush into the secret house of death, ere death dare come to us?
William Shakespeare
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
There will be no lasting peace either in the heart of individuals or in social customs until death is outlawed.
Camus, Albert
It is not death, but dying, which is terrible.
Fielding, Henry
To die is but to leave off dying and do the thing once for all.
Butler, Samuel
A considerable percentage of the people we meet on the street are people who are empty inside, that is, they are actually already dead. It is fortunate for us that we do not see and do not know it. If we knew what a number of people are actually dead and what a number of these dead people govern our lives, we should go mad with horror.
Gurdjieff, George
In the attempt to defeat death man has been inevitably obliged to defeat life, for the two are inextricably related. Life moves on to death, and to deny one is to deny the other.
Miller, Henry
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
Our dead brothers still live for us and bid us think of life, not death -- of life to which in their youth they lent the passion and glory of Spring. As I listen, the great chorus of life and joy begins again, and amid the awful orchestra of seen and unseen powers and destinies of good and evil, our trumpets, sound once more a note of daring, hope, and will.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell
Is there a life after death? Can I never get some peace?
Kocher, Gerhard
If even dying is to be made a social function, then, grant me the favor of sneaking out on tiptoe without disturbing the party.
Hammarskjold, Dag
Must not all things at the last be swallowed up in death?
Plato
Death is the only inescapable, unavoidable, sure thing. We are sentenced to die the day we're born.
Gilmore, Gary Mark
I'm not afraid to die, I just don't want to be there when it happens.
Allen, Woody
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
Death is the golden key that opens the palace of eternity.
Milton, John
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
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
Death is the cure for all diseases.
Browne, Sir Thomas
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.
Only the young die good.
Herford, Oliver
How long after you are gone will ripples remain as evidence that you were cast into the pool of life?
Bright, Grant M.
Death is like an arrow that is already in flight, and your life lasts only until it reaches you.
Hermes, Georg
Not by lamentations and mournful chants ought we to celebrate the funeral of a good man, but by hymns, for in ceasing to be numbered with mortals he enters upon the heritage of a diviner life.
Plutarch
I hope the leaving is joyful; and I hope never to return.
Frida Kahlo
The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. [1 Corinthians 15:26]
Bible
Death is delightful. Death is dawn, the waking from a weary night of fevers unto truth and light.
Miller, Joaquin
Living is a sickness to which sleep provides relief every sixteen hours. It's a palliative. The remedy is death.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De
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.
Merton, Thomas
Madam, Life's a piece in bloom death goes dogging everywhere: She's the tenant of the room he's the ruffian on the stair.
Henley, William Ernest
Yet nightly pitch my moving tent, a day's march nearer home.
Montgomery, James
A person doesn't die when he should but when he can.
Marquez, Gabriel Garcia
My idea of walking into the jaws of death is marrying some woman who has lost three husbands.
Hubbard, Kin
Death always waits. The door of the hearse is never closed.
Bayly, Joseph
I'm not afraid of death but I am afraid of dying. Pain can be alleviated by morphine but the pain of social ostracism cannot be taken away.
Jarman, Derek
We do not die because we have to die; we die because one day, and not so long ago, our consciousness was forced to deem it necessary.
Antonin Artaud
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
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 the last enemy: once we've got past that I think everything will be alright.
Ellis, Alice Thomas
For certain is death for the born And certain is birth for the dead; Therefore over the inevitable Thou shouldst not grieve.
Bhagavad Gita
