Best Quotes about Death
For certain is death for the born And certain is birth for the dead; Therefore over the inevitable Thou shouldst not grieve.
Bhagavad Gita
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the darkness at Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.
Hauer, Rutger
The gods conceal from men the happiness of death, that they may endure life.
Lucan, F. L.
See in what peace a Christian can die.
Addison, Joseph
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
He was exhaled; his great Creator drew His spirit, as the sun the morning dew.
Dryden, John
Life is the desert, life the solitude, death joins us to the great majority.
Young, Edward
One should die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
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
Life is a loss of time.
Kocher, Gerhard
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'd rather die while I'm living then live while I'm dead.
Buffett, Jimmy
To leave is to die a little... one leaves behind a little of oneself at any hour, at any place.
Haracourt, Edmond
Teach me to live that I may dread, the grave as little as my bed.
Ken, Thomas
And what the dead had no speech for, when living, they can tell you, being dead: the communication of the dead is tongued with fire beyond the language of the living.
Eliot, T. S.
As men, we are all equal in the presence of death.
Publilius Syrus
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
If a man hasn't discovered something that he will die for, he isn't fit to live.
King Jr. Martin Luther
That last day does not bring extinction to us, but change of place.
Cicero, Marcus T.
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
Loss and possession, Death and life are one. There falls no shadow where There shines no sun.
Belloc, Hilaire
Woe, woe, woe... in a little while we shall all be dead. Therefore let us behave as though we were dead already.
Chandler, Raymond
There is no such thing as death. In nature nothing dies. From each sad remnant of decay, some forms of life arise so shall his life be taken away before he knoweth that he hath it.
Mackay, Charles
How strange this fear of death is! We are never frightened at a sunset.
Macdonald, George
I have a piece of great and sad news to tell you: I am dead.
Cocteau, Jean
I don't want to achieve immortality through my work... I want to achieve it through not dying.
Woody Allen
As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well spent brings happy death.
Da Vinci, Leonardo
Our dead are never dead to us, until we have forgotten them.
Eliot, George
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
Creation destroys as it goes, throws down one tree for the rise of another. But ideal mankind would abolish death, multiply itself million upon million, rear up city upon city, save every parasite alive, until the accumulation of mere existence is swollen to a horror.
Lawrence, D. H.
Only those are fit to live who are not afraid to die.
Macarthur, Douglas
So every bondman in his own hand bears the power to cancel his captivity.
William Shakespeare
Let no man fear to die, we love to sleep all, and death is but the sounder sleep.
Beaumont, Francis
Our dead brothers still live for us and bid us think of life, not death -- of life to which in their youth they lent the passion and glory of Spring. As I listen, the great chorus of life and joy begins again, and amid the awful orchestra of seen and unseen powers and destinies of good and evil, our trumpets, sound once more a note of daring, hope, and will.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell
Must not all things at the last be swallowed up in death?
Plato
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
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
We should weep for men at their birth, not at their death.
Montesquieu, Charles De
I shall not wholly die, and a great part of me will escape the grave.
Horace
Any relic of the dead is precious, if they were valued living.
Bronte, Emily
All that tread, the globe are but a handful to the tribes, that slumber in its bosom.
Bryant, William C.
Land and sea, weakness and decline are great separators, but death is the great divorcer for ever.
Keats, John
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
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
Let death be daily before your eyes, and you will never entertain any abject thought, nor too eagerly covet anything.
Epictetus
At death we cross from one territory to another, but we'll have no trouble with visas. Our representative is already there, preparing for our arrival. As citizens of heaven, our entrance is incontestable.
Lutzer, Erwin W.
Death is but a passage. It is not a house, it is only a vestibule. The grave has a door on its inner side.
Maclaren, Alexander
He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.
Einstein, Albert
Each in his narrow cell for ever laid, the rude forefathers of the hamlet sleep.
Gray, Thomas
Not by lamentations and mournful chants ought we to celebrate the funeral of a good man, but by hymns, for in ceasing to be numbered with mortals he enters upon the heritage of a diviner life.
Plutarch
