Motivational Quotes
Death
Pale Death with impartial tread beats at the poor man's cottage door and at the palaces of kings.
Best Quotes about Death
Life is a loss of time.
Kocher, Gerhard
Like pilgrims to the appointed place we tend; The world's an inn, and death the journey's end.
Dryden, John
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
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
On the plus side, death is one of the few things that can be done just as easily as lying down.
Allen, Woody
It is impossible to experience one's death objectively and still carry a tune.
Woody Allen
For three days after death hair and fingernails continue to grow but phone calls taper off.
Johnny Carson
As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well spent brings happy death.
Da Vinci, Leonardo
For days after death hair and fingernails continue to grow, but phone calls taper off.
Carson, Johnny
It's no accident that the church and the graveyard stand side by side. The city of the dead sleeps encircled by the city of the living.
Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider
How strange this fear of death is! We are never frightened at a sunset.
Macdonald, George
I will be conquered; I will not capitulate.
Johnson, Samuel
We begin to die as soon as we are born, and the end is linked to the beginning.
Manilius, Marcus
Death is more universal than life; everyone dies but not everyone lives.
A. Sachs
Creation destroys as it goes, throws down one tree for the rise of another. But ideal mankind would abolish death, multiply itself million upon million, rear up city upon city, save every parasite alive, until the accumulation of mere existence is swollen to a horror.
Lawrence, D. H.
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
Death destroys a man, the idea of Death saves him.
Forster, Edward M.
I suppose that I shall have to die beyond my means.
Oscar Wilde
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
Let us beware of saying that death is the opposite of life. The living being is only a species of the dead, and a very rare species.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
Many people die at twenty five and aren't buried until they are seventy five.
Franklin, Benjamin
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
Must not all things at the last be swallowed up in death?
Plato
He had been, he said, an unconscionable time dying; but he hoped that they would excuse it.
Charles II
Let death be daily before your eyes, and you will never entertain any abject thought, nor too eagerly covet anything.
Epictetus
Our dead are never dead to us, until we have forgotten them.
Eliot, George
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
Any relic of the dead is precious, if they were valued living.
Bronte, Emily
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
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
I warmed both hands before the fire of life; It sinks, and I am ready to depart.
Landor, Walter Savage
Pale Death with impartial tread beats at the poor man's cottage door and at the palaces of kings.
Horace
We are but tenants and shortly the great landlord will give us notice that our lease has expired.
Jefferson, Joseph
The report of my death was an exaggeration.
Mark Twain
Neither the sun nor death can be looked at with a steady eye
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
Being prepared for loss is never the same as being ready for it.
Randy K. Milholland
Since the day of my birth, my death began its walk. It is walking toward me, without hurrying.
Cocteau, Jean
Die when I may, I want it said of me by those who knew me best, that I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower where I thought a flower would grow.
Lincoln, Abraham
The fact that when we die we are nothing more than worm meat---I just don't think about it.
Robin Green and Mitchell Burgess
To die is but to leave off dying and do the thing once for all.
Butler, Samuel
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
If some persons died, and others did not die, death would be a terrible affliction.
La Bruyere, Jean De
Loss and possession, Death and life are one. There falls no shadow where There shines no sun.
Belloc, Hilaire
Either he's dead or my watch has stopped.
Marx, Groucho
If you live to be one hundred, you've got it made. Very few people die past that age.
George Burns
Teach me to live that I may dread, the grave as little as my bed.
Ken, Thomas
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
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
I'm afraid I'm being an awful nuisance.
Edith Sitwell
