Motivational Quotes
Death
Because of its tremendous solemnity death is the light in which great passions, both good and bad, become transparent, no longer limited by outward appearances.
Best Quotes about Death
We do not die because we have to die; we die because one day, and not so long ago, our consciousness was forced to deem it necessary.
Antonin Artaud
The gods conceal from men the happiness of death, that they may endure life.
Lucan, F. L.
Death is not the worst; rather, in vain To wish for death, and not to compass it.
Sophocles
But life is sweet, though all that makes it sweet. Lessen like sound of friends departing feet; And death is beautiful as feet of friend. Coming with welcome at our journey's end.
Lowell, James Russell
'Tis after death that we measure men.
Hope, James Barron
Death, so called, is a thing which makes men weep, and yet a third of life is passed in sleep.
Byron, Lord
If you don't know how to die, don't worry; Nature will tell you what to do on the spot, fully and adequately. She will do this job perfectly for you; don't bother your head about it.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
On the plus side, death is one of the few things that can be done just as easily lying down.
Woody Allen
Neither the sun nor death can be looked at with a steady eye
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
When you lose someone you love, you die too, and you wait around for your body to catch up.
John Scalzi
The dead should be judged like criminals, impartially, but they should be allowed the benefit of the doubt.
Butler, Samuel
See in what peace a Christian can die.
Addison, Joseph
Land and sea, weakness and decline are great separators, but death is the great divorcer for ever.
Keats, John
You haven't lost anything when you know were it is. Death can hide but not divide.
Havner, Vance
If a man hasn't discovered something that he will die for, he isn't fit to live.
King Jr. Martin Luther
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
The dead cannot cry out for justice; it is a duty of the living to do so for them.
Lois McMaster Bujold
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 there a life after death? Can I never get some peace?
Kocher, Gerhard
Because of its tremendous solemnity death is the light in which great passions, both good and bad, become transparent, no longer limited by outward appearances.
Kierkegaard, S°ren
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
Life, in my estimation, is a biological misadventure that we terminate on the shoulders of six strange men whose only objective is to make a hole in one with you.
Allen, Fred A.
An evil life is a kind of death.
Ovid
Death is a delightful hiding place for weary men.
Herodotus
Is it sin to rush into the secret house of death, ere death dare come to us?
William Shakespeare
A considerable percentage of the people we meet on the street are people who are empty inside, that is, they are actually already dead. It is fortunate for us that we do not see and do not know it. If we knew what a number of people are actually dead and what a number of these dead people govern our lives, we should go mad with horror.
Gurdjieff, George
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
I suppose that I shall have to die beyond my means.
Oscar Wilde
The last suit that you wear, you don't need any pockets.
Dyer, Wayne
I don't believe in an after life, although I am bringing a change of underwear.
Allen, Woody
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
'Tis all a Checker-board of Nights and days where Destiny with Men for Pieces plays: Hither and thither moves, and mates and slays, and one by one back in the Closet lays.
Khayyam, Omar
Death is better, a milder fate than tyranny.
Aeschylus
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
A man's death makes everything certain about him. Of course, secrets may die with him. And of course, a hundred years later somebody looking through some papers may discover a fact which throws a totally different light on his life and of which all the people who attended his funeral were ignorant. Death changes the facts qualitatively but not quantitatively. One does not know more facts about a man because he is dead. But what one already knows hardens and becomes definite. We cannot hope for ambiguities to be clarified, we cannot hope for further change, we cannot hope for more. We are now the protagonists and we have to make up our minds.
Berger, John
Only those are fit to live who are not afraid to die.
Macarthur, Douglas
The pride of dying rich raises the loudest laugh in hell.
Foster, John W.
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
Death has but one terror, that it has no tomorrow.
Hoffer, Eric
He had been, he said, an unconscionable time dying; but he hoped that they would excuse it.
Charles II
dying is an art, like everything else. I do it exceptionally well. I do it so it feels like hell. I do it so it feels real. I guess you could say I've a call.
Plath, Sylvia
As men, we are all equal in the presence of death.
Publilius Syrus
Our dead brothers still live for us and bid us think of life, not death -- of life to which in their youth they lent the passion and glory of Spring. As I listen, the great chorus of life and joy begins again, and amid the awful orchestra of seen and unseen powers and destinies of good and evil, our trumpets, sound once more a note of daring, hope, and will.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell
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.
In the last analysis it is our conception of death which decides our answers to all the questions life puts to us.
Hammarskjold, Dag
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
For days after death hair and fingernails continue to grow, but phone calls taper off.
Carson, Johnny
If only I could understand the reason for my crying. If only I could stop this fear of dreaming that I'm dying.
Palmer, Laura
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
It is difficult to accept death in this society because it is unfamiliar. In spite of the fact that it happens all the time, we never see it.
KuBler-Ross, Elisabeth
