Motivational Quotes
Death
Death, so called, is a thing which makes men weep, and yet a third of life is passed in sleep.
Best Quotes about Death
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
For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. [1 Timothy 6:7]
Bible
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
Let death be daily before your eyes, and you will never entertain any abject thought, nor too eagerly covet anything.
Epictetus
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
Death is the cure for all diseases.
Browne, Sir Thomas
If I could drop dead right now, I'd be the happiest man alive.
Samuel Goldwyn
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'm trying to die correctly, but it's very difficult, you know.
Durrell, Lawrence
At birth man is offered only one choice --the choice of his death. But if this choice is governed by distaste for his own existence, his life will never have been more than meaningless.
Melville, Jean-Pierre
Fish die belly upward, and rise to the surface. Its their way of falling.
Gide, Andre
Along with the lazy man... the dying man is the immoral man: the former, a subject that does not work; the latter, an object that no longer even makes itself available to be worked on by others.
Certeau, Michel De
Between my head and my hand, there is always the face of death.
Picabia, Francis
Death is the dropping of the flower that the fruit may swell.
Beecher, Henry Ward
I never wanted to see anybody die, but there are a few obituary notices I have read with pleasure.
Darrow, Clarence
As for death one gets used to it, even if it's only other people's death you get used to.
Bagnold, Enid
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
The life of the dead is placed in the memory of the living.
Cicero, Marcus T.
An evil life is a kind of death.
Ovid
I never think he is quite ready for another world who is altogether weary of this.
Hamilton, Hugh
There's a strange sort of quiet when you're dying. It's as if you're in a glass room, and the walls keep getting thicker and thicker.
Gabrielle Zevin
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.
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
If a man hasn't discovered something that he will die for, he isn't fit to live.
King Jr. Martin Luther
Most of us die with much of our beautiful music still in us, un-sung, un-played.
Bright, Grant M.
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
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
Life is one of the most important causes of death.
Kocher, Gerhard
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
It is impossible to experience one's death objectively and still carry a tune.
Woody Allen
The gods conceal from men the happiness of death, that they may endure life.
Lucan, F. L.
For the sword outwears its sheath, and the soul wears out the breast. And the heart must pause to breathe, and love itself have rest.
Byron, Lord
To die is poignantly bitter, but the idea of having to die without having lived is unbearable.
Fromm, Erich
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
Pale Death with impartial tread beats at the poor man's cottage door and at the palaces of kings.
Horace
Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His godly ones. [Psalms 116:15]
Bible
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
Let us go in; the fog is rising.
Dickinson, Emily
On the plus side, death is one of the few things that can be done just as easily as lying down.
Allen, Woody
Death is the enemy. I spent 10 years of my life singlemindedly studying, practicing, fighting hand to hand in close quarters to defeat the enemy, to send him back bloodied and humble and I am not going to roll over and surrender.
Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider
It is natural to die as to be born.
Bacon, Francis
I am ready to meet my maker, but whether my maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter.
Churchill, Winston
The world is the mirror of myself dying.
Miller, Henry
When I have fears that I may cease to be, Before my pen has gleaned my teeming brain.
Keats, John
He was exhaled; his great Creator drew His spirit, as the sun the morning dew.
Dryden, John
When I die, I want people to play my music, go wild and freak out and do anything they want to do.
Hendrix, Jimi
'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
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
To stop sinning suddenly.
Hubbard, Elbert
When we die, no one remembers us for what we weighed. Our weight isn't etched into our headstones.
Stephanie Klein
