Motivational Quotes
Death
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.
Best Quotes about Death
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
Woe, woe, woe... in a little while we shall all be dead. Therefore let us behave as though we were dead already.
Chandler, Raymond
I never think he is quite ready for another world who is altogether weary of this.
Hamilton, Hugh
You haven't lost anything when you know were it is. Death can hide but not divide.
Havner, Vance
To die is but to leave off dying and do the thing once for all.
Butler, Samuel
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
Is there a life after death? Can I never get some peace?
Kocher, Gerhard
The art of living well and the art of dying well are one.
Epicurus
For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. [1 Timothy 6:7]
Bible
How gladly would I meet mortality, my sentence, and be earth in sensible! how glad would lay me down, as in my mother's lap! There I should rest, and sleep secure.
Milton, John
Death is a commingling of eternity with time; in the death of a good man, eternity is seen looking through time.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Death destroys a man, the idea of Death saves him.
Forster, Edward M.
I stay a little longer, as one stays, to cover up the embers that still burn.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth
A person doesn't die when he should but when he can.
Marquez, Gabriel Garcia
Death is better, a milder fate than tyranny.
Aeschylus
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
The fear of death is worse than death.
Burton, Robert
The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep.
Frost, Robert
As virtuous men pass mildly away, and whisper to their souls to go, whilst some of their sad friends do say, the breath goes now, and some say no.
Donne, John
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
The gods conceal from men the happiness of death, that they may endure life.
Lucan, F. L.
Pale Death with impartial tread beats at the poor man's cottage door and at the palaces of kings.
Horace
Remember man as you walk by, as you are now so once was I, as I am now, so you will be, so prepare for death and follow me.
Epitaph
The grave's a fine and private place, but none, I think, do there embrace.
Marvell, Andrew
It hath often been said that it is not death but dying that is terrible.
Fielding, Henry
See in what peace a Christian can die.
Addison, Joseph
Our dead are never dead to us, until we have forgotten them.
Eliot, George
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.
The dead look so terribly dead when they're dead.
W. Somerset Maugham
Dying is something we human beings do continuously, not just at the end of our physical lives on this earth.
KuBler-Ross, Elisabeth
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. [Psalm 23:4]
Bible
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
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
To you who have never died, may I say: Welcome to the world!
Barker, Clive
There is nothing which at once affects a man so much and so little as his own death.
Butler, Samuel
The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. [1 Corinthians 15:26]
Bible
As for death one gets used to it, even if it's only other people's death you get used to.
Bagnold, Enid
Despise not death, but welcome it, for nature wills it like all else.
Aurelius, Marcus
That last day does not bring extinction to us, but change of place.
Cicero, Marcus T.
We are all of us resigned to death: it's life we aren't resigned to.
Greene, Graham
Must not all things at the last be swallowed up in death?
Plato
Loss and possession, Death and life are one. There falls no shadow where There shines no sun.
Belloc, Hilaire
I'm trying to die correctly, but it's very difficult, you know.
Durrell, Lawrence
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
He whom the Gods love dies young, while he is in health, has his senses and his judgments sound.
Plautus, Titus Maccius
Die when I may, I want it said of me by those who knew me best, that I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower where I thought a flower would grow.
Lincoln, Abraham
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
You must not fear death, my lads; defy him, and you drive him into the enemy's ranks.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
The death of what's dead is the birth of what's living.
Guthrie, Arlo
When one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language.
Donne, John
