Death

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
Death Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Death

1.
I am not the least afraid to die.
Darwin, Charles R.

2.
There are worse things in life than death. Have you ever spent an evening with an insurance salesman?
Woody Allen

3.
We are all dead men on leave.
Levine, Eugene

4.
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

5.
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

6.
I will be conquered; I will not capitulate.
Johnson, Samuel

7.
No one's death comes to pass without making some impression, and those close to the deceased inherit part of the liberated soul and become richer in their humanness.
Broch, Hermann

8.
See in what peace a Christian can die.
Addison, Joseph

9.
Death does determine life. Once life is finished it acquires a sense; up to that point it has not got a sense; its sense is suspended and therefore ambiguous. However, to be sincere I must add that for me death is important only if it is not justified and rationalized by reason. For me death is the maximum of epicness and death.
Pasolini, Pier Paolo

10.
An evil life is a kind of death.
Ovid

11.
If I could drop dead right now, I'd be the happiest man alive.
Samuel Goldwyn

12.
One should die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

13.
Dying is a wild night and a new road.
Dickinson, Emily

14.
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.

15.
He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.
Einstein, Albert

16.
A physician can sometimes parry the scythe of death, but has no power over the sand in the hourglass.
Thrale, Hester i

17.
'Tis after death that we measure men.
Hope, James Barron

18.
Death is more universal than life; everyone dies but not everyone lives.
A. Sachs

19.
That last day does not bring extinction to us, but change of place.
Cicero, Marcus T.

20.
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

21.
To die is landing on some distant shore.
Dryden, John

22.
To leave is to die a little... one leaves behind a little of oneself at any hour, at any place.
Haracourt, Edmond

23.
Death be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so. For, those, whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow. Die not, poor death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
Donne, John

24.
He whom the Gods love dies young, while he is in health, has his senses and his judgments sound.
Plautus, Titus Maccius

25.
Death is a commingling of eternity with time; in the death of a good man, eternity is seen looking through time.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

26.
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

27.
Dying is a very dull, dreary affair. My advice to you is to have nothing whatever to do with it.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

28.
Death is like an arrow that is already in flight, and your life lasts only until it reaches you.
Hermes, Georg

29.
There is nothing which at once affects a man so much and so little as his own death.
Butler, Samuel

30.
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

31.
Death is the last enemy: once we've got past that I think everything will be alright.
Ellis, Alice Thomas

32.
Yet nightly pitch my moving tent, a day's march nearer home.
Montgomery, James

33.
As death, when we come to consider it closely, is the true goal of our existence, I have formed during the last few years such close relations with this best and truest friend of mankind, that his image is not only no longer terrifying to me, but is indeed very soothing and consoling! And I thank my God for graciously granting me the opportunity of learning that death is the key which unlocks the door to our true happiness.
Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus

34.
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

35.
Despise not death, but welcome it, for nature wills it like all else.
Aurelius, Marcus

36.
I guess that's how death works. It doesn't matter if we're ready or not. It just happens.
Randy K. Milholland

37.
Man has the possibility of existence after death. But possibility is one thing and the realization of the possibility is quite a different thing.
Gurdjieff, George

38.
Death is as sure for that which is born, as birth is for that which is dead. Therefore grieve not for what is inevitable.
Bhagavad Gita

39.
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

40.
For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. [1 Timothy 6:7]
Bible

41.
Must not all things at the last be swallowed up in death?
Plato

42.
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

43.
Pale Death with impartial tread beats at the poor man's cottage door and at the palaces of kings.
Horace

44.
The report of my death was an exaggeration.
Mark Twain

45.
It is hard to have patience with people who say There is no death or Death doesn't matter. There is death. And whatever is matters. And whatever happens has consequences, and it and they are irrevocable and irreversible. You might as well say that birth doesn't matter.
Lewis, C. S.

46.
Men are never really willing to die except for the sake of freedom: therefore they do not believe in dying completely.
Camus, Albert

47.
The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. [1 Corinthians 15:26]
Bible

48.
My idea of walking into the jaws of death is marrying some woman who has lost three husbands.
Hubbard, Kin

49.
We all have to die some day, if we live long enough.
Farber, Dave

50.
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
