Motivational Quotes
Death
Men fear death, as if unquestionably the greatest evil, and yet no man knows that it may not be the greatest good.
Best Quotes about Death
Since the death instinct exists in the heart of everything that lives, since we suffer from trying to repress it, since everything that lives longs for rest, let us unfasten the ties that bind us to life, let us cultivate our death wish, let us develop it, water it like a plant, let it grow unhindered. Suffering and fear are born from the repression of the death wish.
Ionesco, Eugene
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
Despise not death, but welcome it, for nature wills it like all else.
Aurelius, Marcus
The fear of death is worse than death.
Burton, Robert
Death is the golden key that opens the palace of eternity.
Milton, John
A dead atheist is someone who is all dressed up with no place to go.
Duffecy, James
See in what peace a Christian can die.
Addison, Joseph
If we really think that home is elsewhere and that this life is a wandering to find home, why should we not look forward to the arrival?
Lewis, C. S.
Lord, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am. [Psalms 39:4]
Bible
Death is nothing to us, since when we are, death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.
Epicurus
Our repugnance to death increases in proportion to our consciousness of having lived in vain.
Hazlitt, William
Dying is a wild night and a new road.
Dickinson, Emily
I shall not wholly die, and a great part of me will escape the grave.
Horace
Death is the only inescapable, unavoidable, sure thing. We are sentenced to die the day we're born.
Gilmore, Gary Mark
The pride of dying rich raises the loudest laugh in hell.
Foster, John W.
Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His godly ones. [Psalms 116:15]
Bible
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
Life is a series of diminishments. Each cessation of an activity either from choice or some other variety of infirmity is a death, a putting to final rest. Each loss, of friend or precious enemy, can be equated with the closing off of a room containing blocks of nerves and soon after the closing off the nerves atrophy and that part of oneself, in essence, drops away. The self is lightened, is held on earth by a gram less of mass and will.
Dowell, Coleman
Death never takes the wise man by surprise, he is always ready to go.
La Fontaine, Jean De
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
The words of a dead man are modified in the guts of the living.
Auden, W. H.
I look upon death to be as necessary to our constitution as sleep. We shall rise refreshed in the morning.
Franklin, Benjamin
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
Men are never really willing to die except for the sake of freedom: therefore they do not believe in dying completely.
Camus, Albert
We are all of us resigned to death: it's life we aren't resigned to.
Greene, Graham
Death doesn't frighten me.
Diana, Princess of Wales
And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. [Matthew 10:28]
Bible
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
Either he's dead or my watch has stopped.
Marx, Groucho
If I could drop dead right now, I'd be the happiest man alive.
Samuel Goldwyn
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
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
Because I could not stop for death, He kindly stopped for me; The carriage held but just ourselves and immortality.
Dickinson, Emily
It is impossible to experience one's death objectively and still carry a tune.
Woody Allen
I am ready to meet my maker, but whether my maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter.
Churchill, Winston
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death. [New Testament]
Bible
I will be conquered; I will not capitulate.
Johnson, Samuel
For certain is death for the born And certain is birth for the dead; Therefore over the inevitable Thou shouldst not grieve.
Bhagavad Gita
The last suit that you wear, you don't need any pockets.
Dyer, Wayne
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
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
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
The essential part of our being can only survive if the transient part dissolves. Death is a condition of survival. That which has been gained must be eternalized, and can only be eternalized by being transmuted, by passing through death they must return
Khan, Pir Vilayat
The pomp of death is far more terrible than death itself.
Lee, Nathaniel
When I die, I want people to play my music, go wild and freak out and do anything they want to do.
Hendrix, Jimi
It is difficult to accept death in this society because it is unfamiliar. In spite of the fact that it happens all the time, we never see it.
KuBler-Ross, Elisabeth
We begin to die as soon as we are born, and the end is linked to the beginning.
Manilius, Marcus
Dying is something we human beings do continuously, not just at the end of our physical lives on this earth.
KuBler-Ross, Elisabeth
The dead cannot cry out for justice; it is a duty of the living to do so for them.
Lois McMaster Bujold
There's a thing that keeps surprising you about stormy old friends after they die; their silence.
Becht, Ben
