Motivational Quotes
Death
Though it be in the power of the weakest arm to take away life, it is not in the strongest to deprive us of death.
Best Quotes about Death
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 hope the leaving is joyful; and I hope never to return.
Frida Kahlo
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
When one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language.
Donne, John
The pride of dying rich raises the loudest laugh in hell.
Foster, John W.
Death can sneak up on you like a silent kitten, surprising you with it's touch and you have a right to act surprised. Other times death stomps in the front door, unwanted and unannounced, and makes it's noisy way to your seat on the sofa.
Hugh Elliott
To awake from death is to die in peace.
Horton, Doug
I'm not afraid to die, I just don't want to be there when it happens.
Allen, Woody
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
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
Your body must become familiar with its death -- in all its possible forms and degrees -- as a self-evident, imminent, and emotionally neutral step on the way towards the goal you have found worthy of your life.
Hammarskjold, Dag
dying is an art, like everything else. I do it exceptionally well. I do it so it feels like hell. I do it so it feels real. I guess you could say I've a call.
Plath, Sylvia
Any relic of the dead is precious, if they were valued living.
Bronte, Emily
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
A useless life is an early death.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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
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
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
How strange this fear of death is! We are never frightened at a sunset.
Macdonald, George
You haven't lost anything when you know were it is. Death can hide but not divide.
Havner, Vance
Plan for this world as if you expect to live forever; but plan for the hereafter as if you expect to die tomorrow.
Gabirol, Ibn
Pale death with an impartial foot knocks at the hovels of the poor and the palaces of king.
Horace
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.
Antonin Artaud
Death, so called, is a thing which makes men weep, and yet a third of life is passed in sleep.
Byron, Lord
Against self-slaughter there is a prohibition so divine that cravens my weak hand.
William Shakespeare
Since the day of my birth, my death began its walk. It is walking toward me, without hurrying.
Cocteau, Jean
Oh you who have been removed from God in his solitude by the abyss of time, how can you expect to reach him without dying?
Hallaj
The dead should be judged like criminals, impartially, but they should be allowed the benefit of the doubt.
Butler, Samuel
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
The art of living well and the art of dying well are one.
Epicurus
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.
Because of its tremendous solemnity death is the light in which great passions, both good and bad, become transparent, no longer limited by outward appearances.
Kierkegaard, SĀ°ren
Death doesn't frighten me.
Diana, Princess of Wales
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
If a man hasn't discovered something that he will die for, he isn't fit to live.
King Jr. Martin Luther
Loss and possession, Death and life are one. There falls no shadow where There shines no sun.
Belloc, Hilaire
The fear of death is more to be dreaded than death itself.
Publilius Syrus
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
A person doesn't die when he should but when he can.
Marquez, Gabriel Garcia
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
Death is not the worst; rather, in vain To wish for death, and not to compass it.
Sophocles
He whom the Gods love dies young, while he is in health, has his senses and his judgments sound.
Plautus, Titus Maccius
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
'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
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
As for death one gets used to it, even if it's only other people's death you get used to.
Bagnold, Enid
I stay a little longer, as one stays, to cover up the embers that still burn.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth
Because I could not stop for death, He kindly stopped for me; The carriage held but just ourselves and immortality.
Dickinson, Emily
A man's death makes everything certain about him. Of course, secrets may die with him. And of course, a hundred years later somebody looking through some papers may discover a fact which throws a totally different light on his life and of which all the people who attended his funeral were ignorant. Death changes the facts qualitatively but not quantitatively. One does not know more facts about a man because he is dead. But what one already knows hardens and becomes definite. We cannot hope for ambiguities to be clarified, we cannot hope for further change, we cannot hope for more. We are now the protagonists and we have to make up our minds.
Berger, John
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
