Motivational Quotes
Death
Men are never really willing to die except for the sake of freedom: therefore they do not believe in dying completely.
Best Quotes about Death
These have not the hope to die.
Dante Alighieri
Death is the last enemy: once we've got past that I think everything will be alright.
Ellis, Alice Thomas
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
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.
Browne, Sir Thomas
As men, we are all equal in the presence of death.
Publilius Syrus
He would make a lovely corpse.
Dickens, Charles
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
If only I could understand the reason for my crying. If only I could stop this fear of dreaming that I'm dying.
Palmer, Laura
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death. [New Testament]
Bible
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
I hate funerals and would not attend my own if it could be avoided, but it is well for every man to stop once in a while to think of what sort of a collection of mourners he is training for his final event.
Morris, Robert T.
I do not believe that any man fears to be dead, but only the stroke of death.
Bacon, Francis
I never wanted to see anybody die, but there are a few obituary notices I have read with pleasure.
Darrow, Clarence
I'm not afraid to die, I just don't want to be there when it happens.
Allen, Woody
Death is a very dull, dreary affair, and my advice to you is to have nothing whatever to do with it.
Maugham, W. Somerset
Death is nothing to us, since when we are, death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.
Epicurus
If a man hasn't discovered something that he will die for, he isn't fit to live.
King Jr. Martin Luther
Think not disdainfully of death, but look on it with favor; for even death is one of the things that Nature wills.
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
Death may be the King of terrors... but Jesus is the King of kings!
Moody, Dwight L.
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.
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
Either he's dead or my watch has stopped.
Marx, Groucho
When we die, no one remembers us for what we weighed. Our weight isn't etched into our headstones.
Stephanie Klein
Death is like an arrow that is already in flight, and your life lasts only until it reaches you.
Hermes, Georg
There is left us ourselves to end ourselves.
William Shakespeare
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
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 has but one terror, that it has no tomorrow.
Hoffer, Eric
I really wanted to die at certain periods in my life. Death was like love, a romantic escape. I took pills because I didn't want to throw myself off my balcony and know people would photograph me lying dead below.
Bardot, Brigitte
He who is obsessed by death is made guilty by it.
Canetti, Elias
I'm trying to die correctly, but it's very difficult, you know.
Durrell, Lawrence
Death is a delightful hiding place for weary men.
Herodotus
When I pass, speak freely of my shortcomings and my flaws. Learn from them, for I'll have no ego to injure.
Aaron McGruder
To you who have never died, may I say: Welcome to the world!
Barker, Clive
Only those are fit to live who are not afraid to die.
Macarthur, Douglas
We are but tenants and shortly the great landlord will give us notice that our lease has expired.
Jefferson, Joseph
We sometimes congratulate ourselves at the moment of waking from a troubled dream; it may be so the moment after death.
Hawthorne, Nathaniel
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
The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep.
Frost, Robert
Death doesn't frighten me.
Diana, Princess of Wales
We begin to die as soon as we are born, and the end is linked to the beginning.
Manilius, Marcus
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
Between my head and my hand, there is always the face of death.
Picabia, Francis
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.
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
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
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
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
Is there a life after death? Can I never get some peace?
Kocher, Gerhard
Woe, woe, woe... in a little while we shall all be dead. Therefore let us behave as though we were dead already.
Chandler, Raymond
