- Hallaj
Death Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Death

1.
As death, when we come to consider it closely, is the true goal of our existence, I have formed during the last few years such close relations with this best and truest friend of mankind, that his image is not only no longer terrifying to me, but is indeed very soothing and consoling! And I thank my God for graciously granting me the opportunity of learning that death is the key which unlocks the door to our true happiness.
Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus

2.
The difficulty about all this dying, is that you can't tell a fellow anything about it, so where does the fun come in?
James, Alice

3.
O how small a portion of earth will hold us when we are dead, who ambitiously seek after the whole world while we are living.
Philip II

4.
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

5.
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

6.
A dying man needs to die, as a sleepy man needs to sleep, and there comes a time when it is wrong, as well as useless, to resist.
Alsop, Steward

7.
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

8.
Pale death with an impartial foot knocks at the hovels of the poor and the palaces of king.
Horace

9.
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

10.
Neither the sun nor death can be looked at with a steady eye
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

11.
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

12.
It is not death, but dying, which is terrible.
Fielding, Henry

13.
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

14.
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

15.
Despise not death, but welcome it, for nature wills it like all else.
Aurelius, Marcus

16.
I stay a little longer, as one stays, to cover up the embers that still burn.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth

17.
Against self-slaughter there is a prohibition so divine that cravens my weak hand.
William Shakespeare

18.
We are all dead men on leave.
Levine, Eugene

19.
Fish die belly upward, and rise to the surface. Its their way of falling.
Gide, Andre

20.
Life is a loss of time.
Kocher, Gerhard

21.
Well, there's a remedy for all things but death, which will be sure to lay us flat one time or other.
Cervantes, Miguel De

22.
To be born free is an accident; To live free a responsibility; To die free is an obligation.
Davis, Mrs Hubbard

23.
If you don't think your life is worth more than someone else's, sign your donor card and kill yourself now.
Matthew V. Lewis

24.
'Tis all a Checker-board of Nights and days where Destiny with Men for Pieces plays: Hither and thither moves, and mates and slays, and one by one back in the Closet lays.
Khayyam, Omar

25.
The dead should be judged like criminals, impartially, but they should be allowed the benefit of the doubt.
Butler, Samuel

26.
If I could drop dead right now, I'd be the happiest man alive.
Samuel Goldwyn

27.
Perhaps the whole root of our trouble, the human trouble, is that we will sacrifice all the beauty of our lives, will imprison ourselves in totems, taboos, crosses, blood sacrifices, steeples, mosques, races, armies, flags, nations, in order to deny the fact of death, which is the only fact we have.
Baldwin, James

28.
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

29.
Woe, woe, woe... in a little while we shall all be dead. Therefore let us behave as though we were dead already.
Chandler, Raymond

30.
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

31.
The death of what's dead is the birth of what's living.
Guthrie, Arlo

32.
It hath often been said that it is not death but dying that is terrible.
Fielding, Henry

33.
Death is like an arrow that is already in flight, and your life lasts only until it reaches you.
Hermes, Georg

34.
Never knock on Death's door: ring the bell and run away! Death really hates that!
Matt Frewer

35.
I'm afraid I'm being an awful nuisance.
Edith Sitwell

36.
But there is good news yet to hear and fine things to be seen before we go to Paradise by way of Kensal Green.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

37.
To die is but to leave off dying and do the thing once for all.
Butler, Samuel

38.
It is not death that alarms me, but dying.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

39.
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

40.
Must not all things at the last be swallowed up in death?
Plato

41.
Man that is born of woman hath but a short time to live, and is full of misery. He comet up, and is cut down, like a flower; he fleeth as it were a shadow, and never continueth in one stay.
Book Of Common Prayer

42.
When I die, I want people to play my music, go wild and freak out and do anything they want to do.
Hendrix, Jimi

43.
Death is the final wake-up call.
Horton, Doug

44.
When you lose someone you love, you die too, and you wait around for your body to catch up.
John Scalzi

45.
Death may be the King of terrors... but Jesus is the King of kings!
Moody, Dwight L.

46.
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

47.
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

48.
I warmed both hands before the fire of life; It sinks, and I am ready to depart.
Landor, Walter Savage

49.
A useless life is an early death.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

50.
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
