Best Quotes about Death
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.
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
I would not that death should take me asleep. I would not have him merely seize me, and only declare me to be dead, but win me, and overcome me. When I must shipwreck, I would do it in a sea, where mine impotency might have some excuse; not in a sullen weedy lake, where I could not have so much as exercise for my swimming.
Donne, John
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 pomp of death is far more terrible than death itself.
Lee, Nathaniel
He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.
Einstein, Albert
If some persons died, and others did not die, death would be a terrible affliction.
La Bruyere, Jean De
Only those are fit to live who are not afraid to die.
Macarthur, Douglas
Death is more universal than life; everyone dies but not everyone lives.
A. Sachs
There are worse things in life than death. Have you ever spent an evening with an insurance salesman?
Woody Allen
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
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 dropping of the flower that the fruit may swell.
Beecher, Henry Ward
Teach me to live that I may dread, the grave as little as my bed.
Ken, Thomas
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.
The pride of dying rich raises the loudest laugh in hell.
Foster, John W.
How long after you are gone will ripples remain as evidence that you were cast into the pool of life?
Bright, Grant M.
All that tread, the globe are but a handful to the tribes, that slumber in its bosom.
Bryant, William C.
Let no man fear to die, we love to sleep all, and death is but the sounder sleep.
Beaumont, Francis
I want death to find me planting my cabbage
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
The gods conceal from men the happiness of death, that they may endure life.
Lucan, F. L.
Neither the sun nor death can be looked at with a steady eye
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
Some dying men are the most tyrannical; and certainly, since they will shortly trouble us so little for evermore, the poor fellows ought to be indulged.
Melville, Herman
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
Is it sin to rush into the secret house of death, ere death dare come to us?
William Shakespeare
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
Death is the final wake-up call.
Horton, Doug
I'd rather die while I'm living then live while I'm dead.
Buffett, Jimmy
Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His godly ones. [Psalms 116:15]
Bible
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.
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
When death comes it is never our tenderness that we repent from, but our severity.
Eliot, George
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.
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.
There is left us ourselves to end ourselves.
William Shakespeare
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
We are not victims of aging, sickness and death. These are part of scenery, not the seer, who is immune to any form of change. This seer is the spirit, the expression of eternal being.
Chopra, Deepak
If you live to be one hundred, you've got it made. Very few people die past that age.
George Burns
Man that is born of woman hath but a short time to live, and is full of misery. He comet up, and is cut down, like a flower; he fleeth as it were a shadow, and never continueth in one stay.
Book Of Common Prayer
Dying is a very dull, dreary affair. My advice to you is to have nothing whatever to do with it.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
Dying is something we human beings do continuously, not just at the end of our physical lives on this earth.
KuBler-Ross, Elisabeth
I am not dying, not anymore than any of us are at any moment. We run, hopefully as fast as we can, and then everyone must stop. We can only choose how we handle the race.
Hugh Elliott
It is simply untrue that all our institutions are evil that all politicians are mere opportunists, that all aspects of university life are corrupt. Having discovered an illness, it's not terribly useful to prescribe death as a cure.
Mcgovern, George
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
For days after death hair and fingernails continue to grow, but phone calls taper off.
Carson, Johnny
I'm not afraid to die, I just don't want to be there when it happens.
Allen, Woody
Death doesn't frighten me.
Diana, Princess of Wales
So that he seemed not to relinquish life, but to leave one home for another.
Nepos, Cornelius
One has to pay dearly for immortality; one has to die several times while one is still alive.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
I will be conquered; I will not capitulate.
Johnson, Samuel
