Death

The essential part of our being can only survive if the transient part dissolves. Death is a condition of survival. That which has been gained must be eternalized, and can only be eternalized by being transmuted, by passing through death they must return
- Khan, Pir Vilayat
Death Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Death

1.
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

2.
I shall not wholly die, and a great part of me will escape the grave.
Horace

3.
We are but tenants and shortly the great landlord will give us notice that our lease has expired.
Jefferson, Joseph

4.
O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? [1 Corinthians 15:55]
Bible

5.
As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death.
Leonardo da Vinci

6.
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

7.
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

8.
To die is but to leave off dying and do the thing once for all.
Butler, Samuel

9.
On the plus side, death is one of the few things that can be done just as easily lying down.
Woody Allen

10.
To a father, when a child dies, the future dies; to a child when a parent dies, the past dies.
Auerbach, Red

11.
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.

12.
Dying is a wild night and a new road.
Dickinson, Emily

13.
Along with the lazy man... the dying man is the immoral man: the former, a subject that does not work; the latter, an object that no longer even makes itself available to be worked on by others.
Certeau, Michel De

14.
Do not fear death so much, but rather the inadequate life.
Bertolt Brecht

15.
To die is landing on some distant shore.
Dryden, John

16.
There are worse things in life than death. Have you ever spent an evening with an insurance salesman?
Woody Allen

17.
We are all of us resigned to death: it's life we aren't resigned to.
Greene, Graham

18.
A few can touch the magic string, and noisy fame is proud to win them: Alas for those that never sing, but die with all their music in them!
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

19.
Life is a loss of time.
Kocher, Gerhard

20.
How gladly would I meet mortality, my sentence, and be earth in sensible! how glad would lay me down, as in my mother's lap! There I should rest, and sleep secure.
Milton, John

21.
If life must not be taken too seriously -- then so neither must death.
Butler, Samuel

22.
I have wrestled with death. It is the most unexciting contest you can imagine. It takes place in an impalpable grayness, with nothing underfoot, with nothing around, without spectators, without clamor, without glory, without the great desire of victory, without the great fear of defeat.
Conrad, Joseph

23.
We all labor against our own cure, for death is the cure of all diseases.
Browne, Sir Thomas

24.
I don't believe in an after life, although I am bringing a change of underwear.
Allen, Woody

25.
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.

26.
We are all dead men on leave.
Levine, Eugene

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.
It is natural to die as to be born.
Bacon, Francis

29.
Must not all things at the last be swallowed up in death?
Plato

30.
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

31.
The art of living well and the art of dying well are one.
Epicurus

32.
Perhaps the whole root of our trouble, the human trouble, is that we will sacrifice all the beauty of our lives, will imprison ourselves in totems, taboos, crosses, blood sacrifices, steeples, mosques, races, armies, flags, nations, in order to deny the fact of death, which is the only fact we have.
Baldwin, James

33.
You must not fear death, my lads; defy him, and you drive him into the enemy's ranks.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

34.
We should weep for men at their birth, not at their death.
Montesquieu, Charles De

35.
Every man is born as many men and dies as a single one.
Heidegger, Martin

36.
I don't want to achieve immortality through my work... I want to achieve it through not dying.
Woody Allen

37.
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

38.
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

39.
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

40.
At death we cross from one territory to another, but we'll have no trouble with visas. Our representative is already there, preparing for our arrival. As citizens of heaven, our entrance is incontestable.
Lutzer, Erwin W.

41.
I am going to concentrate on what's important in life. I'm going to strive everyday to be a kind and generous and loving person. I'm going to keep death right here, so that anytime I even think about getting angry at you or anybody else, I'll see death and I'll remember.
Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider

42.
Life is the desert, life the solitude, death joins us to the great majority.
Young, Edward

43.
When one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language.
Donne, John

44.
I never wanted to see anybody die, but there are a few obituary notices I have read with pleasure.
Darrow, Clarence

45.
To you who have never died, may I say: Welcome to the world!
Barker, Clive

46.
Lord, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am. [Psalms 39:4]
Bible

47.
Only those are fit to live who are not afraid to die.
Macarthur, Douglas

48.
If some persons died, and others did not die, death would be a terrible affliction.
La Bruyere, Jean De

49.
Men are never really willing to die except for the sake of freedom: therefore they do not believe in dying completely.
Camus, Albert

50.
Death is a delightful hiding place for weary men.
Herodotus
