Death Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Death

1.
I hate funerals and would not attend my own if it could be avoided, but it is well for every man to stop once in a while to think of what sort of a collection of mourners he is training for his final event.
Morris, Robert T.

2.
If only I could understand the reason for my crying. If only I could stop this fear of dreaming that I'm dying.
Palmer, Laura

3.
I'd rather get my brains blown out in the wild than wait in terror at the slaughterhouse.
Craig Volk

4.
If a man hasn't discovered something that he will die for, he isn't fit to live.
King Jr. Martin Luther

5.
Dying is something we human beings do continuously, not just at the end of our physical lives on this earth.
KuBler-Ross, Elisabeth

6.
Since the day of my birth, my death began its walk. It is walking toward me, without hurrying.
Cocteau, Jean

7.
We are all dead men on leave.
Levine, Eugene

8.
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

9.
Death be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so. For, those, whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow. Die not, poor death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
Donne, John

10.
Death doesn't frighten me.
Diana, Princess of Wales

11.
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

12.
Know one knows whether death, which people fear to be the greatest evil, may not be the greatest good.
Plato

13.
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

14.
Every man is born as many men and dies as a single one.
Heidegger, Martin

15.
Life is the jailer, death the angel sent to draw the unwilling bolts and set us free.
Lowell, James Russell

16.
Death destroys a man, the idea of Death saves him.
Forster, Edward M.

17.
Death may be the King of terrors... but Jesus is the King of kings!
Moody, Dwight L.

18.
The death of what's dead is the birth of what's living.
Guthrie, Arlo

19.
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

20.
When one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language.
Donne, John

21.
The words of a dead man are modified in the guts of the living.
Auden, W. H.

22.
Fish die belly upward, and rise to the surface. Its their way of falling.
Gide, Andre

23.
Death, so called, is a thing which makes men weep, and yet a third of life is passed in sleep.
Byron, Lord

24.
Most of us die with much of our beautiful music still in us, un-sung, un-played.
Bright, Grant M.

25.
Yet nightly pitch my moving tent, a day's march nearer home.
Montgomery, James

26.
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

27.
Death is not the worst; rather, in vain To wish for death, and not to compass it.
Sophocles

28.
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

29.
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

30.
Your body must become familiar with its death -- in all its possible forms and degrees -- as a self-evident, imminent, and emotionally neutral step on the way towards the goal you have found worthy of your life.
Hammarskjold, Dag

31.
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

32.
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

33.
Neither the sun nor death can be looked at with a steady eye
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

34.
I look upon death to be as necessary to our constitution as sleep. We shall rise refreshed in the morning.
Franklin, Benjamin

35.
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

36.
We should weep for men at their birth, not at their death.
Montesquieu, Charles De

37.
I really wanted to die at certain periods in my life. Death was like love, a romantic escape. I took pills because I didn't want to throw myself off my balcony and know people would photograph me lying dead below.
Bardot, Brigitte

38.
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

39.
Dying is a wild night and a new road.
Dickinson, Emily

40.
On the plus side, death is one of the few things that can be done just as easily lying down.
Woody Allen

41.
Between my head and my hand, there is always the face of death.
Picabia, Francis

42.
I stay a little longer, as one stays, to cover up the embers that still burn.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth

43.
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

44.
To die is landing on some distant shore.
Dryden, John

45.
When death comes it is never our tenderness that we repent from, but our severity.
Eliot, George

46.
But learn that to die is a debt we must all pay.
Euripides

47.
Along with the lazy man... the dying man is the immoral man: the former, a subject that does not work; the latter, an object that no longer even makes itself available to be worked on by others.
Certeau, Michel De

48.
Death can sneak up on you like a silent kitten, surprising you with it's touch and you have a right to act surprised. Other times death stomps in the front door, unwanted and unannounced, and makes it's noisy way to your seat on the sofa.
Hugh Elliott

49.
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

50.
Fear of death has been the greatest ally of tyranny past and present.
Hook, Sydney
