Death Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Death

1.
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.

2.
Plan for this world as if you expect to live forever; but plan for the hereafter as if you expect to die tomorrow.
Gabirol, Ibn

3.
I would not that death should take me asleep. I would not have him merely seize me, and only declare me to be dead, but win me, and overcome me. When I must shipwreck, I would do it in a sea, where mine impotency might have some excuse; not in a sullen weedy lake, where I could not have so much as exercise for my swimming.
Donne, John

4.
Be open to your dreams, people. Embrace that distant shore. Because our mortal journey is over all too soon.
David Assael

5.
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

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.
My idea of walking into the jaws of death is marrying some woman who has lost three husbands.
Hubbard, Kin

8.
I don't want to achieve immortality through my work... I want to achieve it through not dying.
Woody Allen

9.
The fear of death is more to be dreaded than death itself.
Publilius Syrus

10.
Death is the golden key that opens the palace of eternity.
Milton, John

11.
Death is delightful. Death is dawn, the waking from a weary night of fevers unto truth and light.
Miller, Joaquin

12.
Either he's dead or my watch has stopped.
Marx, Groucho

13.
The world is the mirror of myself dying.
Miller, Henry

14.
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

15.
When I die I want to decompose in a barrel of porter and have it served in all the pubs in Dublin.
Donleavy, J. P.

16.
Man that is born of woman hath but a short time to live, and is full of misery. He comet up, and is cut down, like a flower; he fleeth as it were a shadow, and never continueth in one stay.
Book Of Common Prayer

17.
He whom the Gods love dies young, while he is in health, has his senses and his judgments sound.
Plautus, Titus Maccius

18.
I guess that's how death works. It doesn't matter if we're ready or not. It just happens.
Randy K. Milholland

19.
See in what peace a Christian can die.
Addison, Joseph

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.
A useless life is an early death.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

22.
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

23.
I want death to find me planting my cabbage
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

24.
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

25.
Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His godly ones. [Psalms 116:15]
Bible

26.
The fear of death often proves mortal, and sets people on methods to save their Lives, which infallibly destroy them.
Addison, Joseph

27.
Death is a delightful hiding place for weary men.
Herodotus

28.
Death is the liberator of him whom freedom cannot release, the physician of him whom medicine cannot cure, and the comforter of him whom time cannot console.
Colton, Charles Caleb

29.
For days after death hair and fingernails continue to grow, but phone calls taper off.
Carson, Johnny

30.
There is no death. the stars go down to rise upon some other shore. And bright in Heaven's jeweled crown, they shine for ever more.
Mccreery, John Luckey

31.
I suppose that I shall have to die beyond my means.
Oscar Wilde

32.
The life of the dead is placed in the memory of the living.
Cicero, Marcus T.

33.
To leave is to die a little... one leaves behind a little of oneself at any hour, at any place.
Haracourt, Edmond

34.
I never think he is quite ready for another world who is altogether weary of this.
Hamilton, Hugh

35.
If you live to be one hundred, you've got it made. Very few people die past that age.
George Burns

36.
Pale death with an impartial foot knocks at the hovels of the poor and the palaces of king.
Horace

37.
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

38.
Death is the king of this world: 'Tis his park where he breeds life to feed him. Cries of pain are music for his banquet
Eliot, George

39.
It's sad when our daddies die. Makes us one less person inside.
Pamela Ribon

40.
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

41.
Nothing that is really good and God-like dies.
Arndt, Ernest Moritz

42.
When a great man dies, for years the light he leaves behind him, lies on the paths of men.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth

43.
I'm not afraid of death but I am afraid of dying. Pain can be alleviated by morphine but the pain of social ostracism cannot be taken away.
Jarman, Derek

44.
Each in his narrow cell for ever laid, the rude forefathers of the hamlet sleep.
Gray, Thomas

I will be conquered; I will not capitulate.
Johnson, Samuel

46.
Only those are fit to live who are not afraid to die.
