Motivational Quotes
Death
When a great man dies, for years the light he leaves behind him, lies on the paths of men.
Best Quotes about Death
Fear of death has been the greatest ally of tyranny past and present.
Hook, Sydney
Death is not the worst; rather, in vain To wish for death, and not to compass it.
Sophocles
We all labor against our own cure, for death is the cure of all diseases.
Browne, Sir Thomas
He would make a lovely corpse.
Dickens, Charles
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
Death eats up all things, both the young lamb and old sheep; and I have heard our parson say, death values a prince no more than a clown; all's fish that comes to his net; he throws at all, and sweeps stakes; he's no mower that takes a nap at noon-day, but drives on, fair weather or foul, and cuts down the green grass as well as the ripe corn: he's neither squeamish nor queesy-stomach d, for he swallows without chewing, and crams down all things into his ungracious maw; and you can see no belly he has, he has a confounded dropsy, and thirsts after men's lives, which he gurgles down like mother's milk.
Cervantes, Miguel De
'Tis after death that we measure men.
Hope, James Barron
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
In the last analysis it is our conception of death which decides our answers to all the questions life puts to us.
Hammarskjold, Dag
I really wanted to die at certain periods in my life. Death was like love, a romantic escape. I took pills because I didn't want to throw myself off my balcony and know people would photograph me lying dead below.
Bardot, Brigitte
I hope the leaving is joyful; and I hope never to return.
Frida Kahlo
He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.
Einstein, Albert
What did it matter where you lay once you were dead? In a dirty sump or in a marble tower on top of a high hill? You were dead, you were sleeping the big sleep, you were not bothered by things like that. Oil and water were the same as wind and air to you.
Chandler, Raymond
For certain is death for the born And certain is birth for the dead; Therefore over the inevitable Thou shouldst not grieve.
Bhagavad Gita
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
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
We need not fear life, because God is the Ruler of all and we need not fear death, because He shares immortality with us.
Landers, Ann
We are but tenants and shortly the great landlord will give us notice that our lease has expired.
Jefferson, Joseph
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
Never knock on Death's door: ring the bell and run away! Death really hates that!
Matt Frewer
When I pass, speak freely of my shortcomings and my flaws. Learn from them, for I'll have no ego to injure.
Aaron McGruder
There's a strange sort of quiet when you're dying. It's as if you're in a glass room, and the walls keep getting thicker and thicker.
Gabrielle Zevin
Death never takes the wise man by surprise, he is always ready to go.
La Fontaine, Jean De
'Tis the maddest trick a man can ever play in his whole life, to let his breath sneak out of his body without any more ado, and without so much as a rap o'er the pate, or a kick of the guts; to go out like the snuff of a farthing candle, and die merely of the mulligrubs, or the sullens.
Cervantes, Miguel De
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.
I shall not wholly die, and a great part of me will escape the grave.
Horace
As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well spent brings happy death.
Da Vinci, Leonardo
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 fear of death is more to be dreaded than death itself.
Publilius Syrus
Death is a release from the impressions of the senses, and from desires that make us their puppets, and from the vagaries of the mind, and from the hard service of the flesh.
Aurelius, Marcus
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
Living is a sickness to which sleep provides relief every sixteen hours. It's a palliative. The remedy is death.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De
There is no such thing as death. In nature nothing dies. From each sad remnant of decay, some forms of life arise so shall his life be taken away before he knoweth that he hath it.
Mackay, Charles
The pomp of death is far more terrible than death itself.
Lee, Nathaniel
Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't come to yours.
Berra, Yogi
I'd rather get my brains blown out in the wild than wait in terror at the slaughterhouse.
Craig Volk
Every man is born as many men and dies as a single one.
Heidegger, Martin
Death is the dropping of the flower that the fruit may swell.
Beecher, Henry Ward
The call of death is a call of love. Death can be sweet if we answer it in the affirmative, if we accept it as one of the great eternal forms of life and transformation.
Hesse, Hermann
In the attempt to defeat death man has been inevitably obliged to defeat life, for the two are inextricably related. Life moves on to death, and to deny one is to deny the other.
Miller, Henry
Let death be daily before your eyes, and you will never entertain any abject thought, nor too eagerly covet anything.
Epictetus
Either he's dead or my watch has stopped.
Marx, Groucho
It is natural to die as to be born.
Bacon, Francis
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
Only those are fit to live who are not afraid to die.
Macarthur, Douglas
I do not believe that any man fears to be dead, but only the stroke of death.
Bacon, Francis
Life is the jailer, death the angel sent to draw the unwilling bolts and set us free.
Lowell, James Russell
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the darkness at Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.
Hauer, Rutger
Death is the great adventure beside which moon landings and space trips pale into insignificance.
Bayly, Joseph
If some persons died, and others did not die, death would be a terrible affliction.
La Bruyere, Jean De
