Motivational Quotes
Death
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.
Best Quotes about Death
Let death be daily before your eyes, and you will never entertain any abject thought, nor too eagerly covet anything.
Epictetus
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
When one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language.
Donne, John
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
When one by one our ties are torn, and friend from friend is snatched forlorn; When man is left alone to mourn, oh! then how sweet it is to die!
Barbauld, Anna Letitia

Steve Jobs
For 'Tis not in mere death that men die most.

A dead atheist is someone who is all dressed up with no place to go.
Duffecy, James
I have a piece of great and sad news to tell you: I am dead.
Cocteau, Jean
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
Is there a life after death? Can I never get some peace?
Kocher, Gerhard
I have seen a thousand graves opened, and always perceived that whatever was gone, the teeth and hair remained of those who had died with them. Is not this odd? They go the very first things in youth and yet last the longest in the dust.
Byron, Lord
For days after death hair and fingernails continue to grow, but phone calls taper off.
Carson, Johnny
Men fear death, as if unquestionably the greatest evil, and yet no man knows that it may not be the greatest good.

Pale death with an impartial foot knocks at the hovels of the poor and the palaces of king.
Horace
See in what peace a Christian can die.
Addison, Joseph
Death is the final wake-up call.
Horton, Doug
Is it sin to rush into the secret house of death, ere death dare come to us?
William Shakespeare
So every bondman in his own hand bears the power to cancel his captivity.
William Shakespeare
The pomp of death is far more terrible than death itself.
Lee, Nathaniel
Death is better, a milder fate than tyranny.
Aeschylus
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
It is as natural to die as to be born; and to a little infant, perhaps, the one is as painful as the other.
Bacon, Francis
Must not all things at the last be swallowed up in death?
Plato
There was something awesome in the thought of the solitary mortal standing by the open window and summoning in from the gloom outside the spirits of the nether world.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
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
When a great man dies, for years the light he leaves behind him, lies on the paths of men.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth
Against self-slaughter there is a prohibition so divine that cravens my weak hand.
William Shakespeare
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
How strange this fear of death is! We are never frightened at a sunset.
Macdonald, George
And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. [Matthew 10:28]
Bible
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
Now, a corpse, poor thing, is an untouchable and the process of decay is, of all pieces of bad manners, the vulgarest imaginable. For a corpse is, by definition, a person absolutely devoid of savoir vivre.
Huxley, Aldous
Know one knows whether death, which people fear to be the greatest evil, may not be the greatest good.
Plato
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
That last day does not bring extinction to us, but change of place.
Cicero, Marcus T.
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
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
