Motivational Quotes
Death
Most of us die with much of our beautiful music still in us, un-sung, un-played.
Best Quotes about Death
For 'Tis not in mere death that men die most.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett
As for death one gets used to it, even if it's only other people's death you get used to.
Bagnold, Enid
I have wrestled with death. It is the most unexciting contest you can imagine. It takes place in an impalpable grayness, with nothing underfoot, with nothing around, without spectators, without clamor, without glory, without the great desire of victory, without the great fear of defeat.
Conrad, Joseph
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
Don't strew me with roses after I'm dead. When Death claims the light of my brow No flowers of life will cheer me: instead You may give me my roses now!
Healey, Thomas F.
Death is the dropping of the flower that the fruit may swell.
Beecher, Henry Ward
Death is the only inescapable, unavoidable, sure thing. We are sentenced to die the day we're born.
Gilmore, Gary Mark
I have seen a thousand graves opened, and always perceived that whatever was gone, the teeth and hair remained of those who had died with them. Is not this odd? They go the very first things in youth and yet last the longest in the dust.
Byron, Lord
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
Death is the liberator of him whom freedom cannot release, the physician of him whom medicine cannot cure, and the comforter of him whom time cannot console.
Colton, Charles Caleb
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
The call of death is a call of love. Death can be sweet if we answer it in the affirmative, if we accept it as one of the great eternal forms of life and transformation.
Hesse, Hermann
Madam, Life's a piece in bloom death goes dogging everywhere: She's the tenant of the room he's the ruffian on the stair.
Henley, William Ernest
Only the young die good.
Herford, Oliver
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.
Die, my dear doctor! That's the last thing I shall do!
Palmerston, Lord
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
If a man hasn't discovered something that he will die for, he isn't fit to live.
King Jr. Martin Luther
In the attempt to defeat death man has been inevitably obliged to defeat life, for the two are inextricably related. Life moves on to death, and to deny one is to deny the other.
Miller, Henry
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
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
As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death.
Leonardo da Vinci
The dead should be judged like criminals, impartially, but they should be allowed the benefit of the doubt.
Butler, Samuel
Since the death instinct exists in the heart of everything that lives, since we suffer from trying to repress it, since everything that lives longs for rest, let us unfasten the ties that bind us to life, let us cultivate our death wish, let us develop it, water it like a plant, let it grow unhindered. Suffering and fear are born from the repression of the death wish.
Ionesco, Eugene
It is not death that alarms me, but dying.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
I do not believe that any man fears to be dead, but only the stroke of death.
Bacon, Francis
To leave is to die a little... one leaves behind a little of oneself at any hour, at any place.
Haracourt, Edmond
A dead atheist is someone who is all dressed up with no place to go.
Duffecy, James
If we really think that home is elsewhere and that this life is a wandering to find home, why should we not look forward to the arrival?
Lewis, C. S.
Death is like an arrow that is already in flight, and your life lasts only until it reaches you.
Hermes, Georg
Let death be daily before your eyes, and you will never entertain any abject thought, nor too eagerly covet anything.
Epictetus
Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't come to yours.
Berra, Yogi
Now, a corpse, poor thing, is an untouchable and the process of decay is, of all pieces of bad manners, the vulgarest imaginable. For a corpse is, by definition, a person absolutely devoid of savoir vivre.
Huxley, Aldous
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death. [New Testament]
Bible
Death is the great adventure beside which moon landings and space trips pale into insignificance.
Bayly, Joseph
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
I never think he is quite ready for another world who is altogether weary of this.
Hamilton, Hugh
Men fear death, as if unquestionably the greatest evil, and yet no man knows that it may not be the greatest good.
Mitford, William
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
There's a thing that keeps surprising you about stormy old friends after they die; their silence.
Becht, Ben
I guess that's how death works. It doesn't matter if we're ready or not. It just happens.
Randy K. Milholland
Know one knows whether death, which people fear to be the greatest evil, may not be the greatest good.
Plato
How strange this fear of death is! We are never frightened at a sunset.
Macdonald, George
The life of the dead is placed in the memory of the living.
Cicero, Marcus T.
I will be conquered; I will not capitulate.
Johnson, Samuel
We all labor against our own cure, for death is the cure of all diseases.
Browne, Sir Thomas
I'm afraid I'm being an awful nuisance.
Edith Sitwell
The Father is the Giver of Life; but the Mother is the Giver of Death, because her womb is the gate of ingress to matter, and through her life is ensouled to form, and no form can be either infinite or eternal. Death is implicit in birth.
Kabbalah
Either he's dead or my watch has stopped.
Marx, Groucho
'Tis the maddest trick a man can ever play in his whole life, to let his breath sneak out of his body without any more ado, and without so much as a rap o'er the pate, or a kick of the guts; to go out like the snuff of a farthing candle, and die merely of the mulligrubs, or the sullens.
Cervantes, Miguel De
