Best Quotes about Death

Nothing that is really good and God-like dies.

Arndt, Ernest Moritz

It is hard to have patience with people who say There is no death or Death doesn't matter. There is death. And whatever is matters. And whatever happens has consequences, and it and they are irrevocable and irreversible. You might as well say that birth doesn't matter.

Lewis, C. S.

The gods conceal from men the happiness of death, that they may endure life.

Lucan, F. L.

There will be no lasting peace either in the heart of individuals or in social customs until death is outlawed.

Camus, Albert

He has gone over to the majority.

Petronius

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

Death has but one terror, that it has no tomorrow.

Hoffer, Eric

I'm trying to die correctly, but it's very difficult, you know.

Durrell, Lawrence

Death is a release from the impressions of the senses, and from desires that make us their puppets, and from the vagaries of the mind, and from the hard service of the flesh.

Aurelius, Marcus

10.

A considerable percentage of the people we meet on the street are people who are empty inside, that is, they are actually already dead. It is fortunate for us that we do not see and do not know it. If we knew what a number of people are actually dead and what a number of these dead people govern our lives, we should go mad with horror.

Gurdjieff, George

11.

I'd rather die while I'm living then live while I'm dead.

Buffett, Jimmy

12.

Land and sea, weakness and decline are great separators, but death is the great divorcer for ever.

Keats, John

13.

To die is landing on some distant shore.

Dryden, John

14.

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

15.

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

16.

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

Euripides

17.

If a man hasn't discovered something that he will die for, he isn't fit to live.

King Jr. Martin Luther

18.

If you live to be one hundred, you've got it made. Very few people die past that age.

George Burns

19.

If you don't know how to die, don't worry; Nature will tell you what to do on the spot, fully and adequately. She will do this job perfectly for you; don't bother your head about it.

Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

20.

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

21.

Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't come to yours.

Berra, Yogi

22.

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

Woody Allen

23.

The report of my death was an exaggeration.

Mark Twain

24.

I don't want to achieve immortality through my work... I want to achieve it through not dying.

Woody Allen

25.

Let us go in; the fog is rising.

Dickinson, Emily

26.

Life is a loss of time.

Kocher, Gerhard

27.

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

KuBler-Ross, Elisabeth

28.

Pale Death with impartial tread beats at the poor man's cottage door and at the palaces of kings.

Horace

29.

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

30.

Death is delightful. Death is dawn, the waking from a weary night of fevers unto truth and light.

Miller, Joaquin

31.

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

32.

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His godly ones. [Psalms 116:15]

Bible

Dante Alighieri

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

I'm afraid I'm being an awful nuisance.

Edith Sitwell

42.

For days after death hair and fingernails continue to grow, but phone calls taper off.

Carson, Johnny

43.

A physician can sometimes parry the scythe of death, but has no power over the sand in the hourglass.

Thrale, Hester i

44.

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
