Motivational Quotes
Death
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.
Best Quotes about Death
Either he's dead or my watch has stopped.
Marx, Groucho
How strange this fear of death is! We are never frightened at a sunset.
Macdonald, George
Any relic of the dead is precious, if they were valued living.
Bronte, Emily
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
There was something awesome in the thought of the solitary mortal standing by the open window and summoning in from the gloom outside the spirits of the nether world.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
I have a piece of great and sad news to tell you: I am dead.
Cocteau, Jean
Teach me to live that I may dread, the grave as little as my bed.
Ken, Thomas
Personally I have no bone to pick with graveyards, I take the air there willingly, perhaps more willingly than elsewhere, when take the air I must.
Beckett, Samuel
The fear of death is worse than death.
Burton, Robert
Death destroys a man, the idea of Death saves him.
Forster, Edward M.
The grave's a fine and private place, but none, I think, do there embrace.
Marvell, Andrew
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
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
I'd rather get my brains blown out in the wild than wait in terror at the slaughterhouse.
Craig Volk
The death of what's dead is the birth of what's living.
Guthrie, Arlo
Death is not the worst; rather, in vain To wish for death, and not to compass it.
Sophocles
When a great man dies, for years the light he leaves behind him, lies on the paths of men.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth
I look upon death to be as necessary to our constitution as sleep. We shall rise refreshed in the morning.
Franklin, Benjamin
It's no accident that the church and the graveyard stand side by side. The city of the dead sleeps encircled by the city of the living.
Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider
Many people die at twenty five and aren't buried until they are seventy five.
Franklin, Benjamin
Fish die belly upward, and rise to the surface. Its their way of falling.
Gide, Andre
But life is sweet, though all that makes it sweet. Lessen like sound of friends departing feet; And death is beautiful as feet of friend. Coming with welcome at our journey's end.
Lowell, James Russell
He was exhaled; his great Creator drew His spirit, as the sun the morning dew.
Dryden, John
When I pass, speak freely of my shortcomings and my flaws. Learn from them, for I'll have no ego to injure.
Aaron McGruder
The words of a dead man are modified in the guts of the living.
Auden, W. H.
When I die I want to decompose in a barrel of porter and have it served in all the pubs in Dublin.
Donleavy, J. P.
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death. [New Testament]
Bible
Men are convinced of your arguments, your sincerity, and the seriousness of your efforts only by your death.
Camus, Albert
Ignore death up to the last moment; then, when it can't be ignored any longer, have yourself squirted full of morphia and shuffle off in a coma. Thoroughly sensible, humane and scientific, eh?
Huxley, Aldous
How long after you are gone will ripples remain as evidence that you were cast into the pool of life?
Bright, Grant M.
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
A useless life is an early death.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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
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
I look upon life as a gift from God. I did nothing to earn it. Now that the time is coming to give it back, I have no right to complain.
Cary, Joyce
I warmed both hands before the fire of life; It sinks, and I am ready to depart.
Landor, Walter Savage
Fear of death has been the greatest ally of tyranny past and present.
Hook, Sydney
Let us go in; the fog is rising.
Dickinson, Emily
Do not fear death so much, but rather the inadequate life.
Bertolt Brecht
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
Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't come to yours.
Berra, Yogi
As for death one gets used to it, even if it's only other people's death you get used to.
Bagnold, Enid
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
I shall not wholly die, and a great part of me will escape the grave.
Horace
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
I hope the leaving is joyful; and I hope never to return.
Frida Kahlo
A human act once set in motion flows on forever to the great account. Our deathlessness is in what we do, not in what we are.
Meredith, George
The art of living well and the art of dying well are one.
Epicurus
Man has the possibility of existence after death. But possibility is one thing and the realization of the possibility is quite a different thing.
Gurdjieff, George
These have not the hope to die.
Dante Alighieri
