Death

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.
Death Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Death

1.
Death is the golden key that opens the palace of eternity.
Milton, John

2.
The report of my death was an exaggeration.
Mark Twain

3.
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

4.
An evil life is a kind of death.
Ovid

5.
The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. [1 Corinthians 15:26]
Bible

6.
There are worse things in life than death. Have you ever spent an evening with an insurance salesman?
Woody Allen

7.
For certain is death for the born And certain is birth for the dead; Therefore over the inevitable Thou shouldst not grieve.
Bhagavad Gita

8.
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

9.
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

10.
How long after you are gone will ripples remain as evidence that you were cast into the pool of life?
Bright, Grant M.

11.
As men, we are all equal in the presence of death.
Publilius Syrus

12.
The death of what's dead is the birth of what's living.
Guthrie, Arlo

13.
Each in his narrow cell for ever laid, the rude forefathers of the hamlet sleep.
Gray, Thomas

14.
Pale death with an impartial foot knocks at the hovels of the poor and the palaces of king.
Horace

15.
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

16.
To you who have never died, may I say: Welcome to the world!
Barker, Clive

17.
Never knock on Death's door: ring the bell and run away! Death really hates that!
Matt Frewer

18.
Death is the only inescapable, unavoidable, sure thing. We are sentenced to die the day we're born.
Gilmore, Gary Mark

19.
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

20.
He has gone over to the majority.
Petronius

21.
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

22.
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

23.
Life is the jailer, death the angel sent to draw the unwilling bolts and set us free.
Lowell, James Russell

24.
He would make a lovely corpse.
Dickens, Charles

25.
Death is more universal than life; everyone dies but not everyone lives.
A. Sachs

26.
If I could drop dead right now, I'd be the happiest man alive.
Samuel Goldwyn

27.
As we look deeply within, we understand our perfect balance. There is no fear of the cycle of birth, life and death. For when you stand in the present moment, you are timeless.
Rodney Yee

28.
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.

29.
When I die, I want people to play my music, go wild and freak out and do anything they want to do.
Hendrix, Jimi

30.
He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.
Einstein, Albert

31.
A human act once set in motion flows on forever to the great account. Our deathlessness is in what we do, not in what we are.
Meredith, George

32.
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

33.
You haven't lost anything when you know were it is. Death can hide but not divide.
Havner, Vance

34.
As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up: so man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep. [Job 14:11-12]
Bible

35.
Our repugnance to death increases in proportion to our consciousness of having lived in vain.
Hazlitt, William

36.
Personally I have no bone to pick with graveyards, I take the air there willingly, perhaps more willingly than elsewhere, when take the air I must.
Beckett, Samuel

37.
On the plus side, death is one of the few things that can be done just as easily lying down.
Woody Allen

38.
A person doesn't die when he should but when he can.
Marquez, Gabriel Garcia

39.
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

40.
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

41.
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

42.
When one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language.
Donne, John

43.
Since the death instinct exists in the heart of everything that lives, since we suffer from trying to repress it, since everything that lives longs for rest, let us unfasten the ties that bind us to life, let us cultivate our death wish, let us develop it, water it like a plant, let it grow unhindered. Suffering and fear are born from the repression of the death wish.
Ionesco, Eugene

44.
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

45.
Death is like an arrow that is already in flight, and your life lasts only until it reaches you.
Hermes, Georg

46.
Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't come to yours.
Berra, Yogi

47.
An orphan's curse would drag to hell, a spirit from on high; but oh! more horrible than that, is a curse in a dead man's eye!
Coleridge, Samuel Taylor

48.
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

49.
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

50.
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
