Motivational Quotes
Death
O how small a portion of earth will hold us when we are dead, who ambitiously seek after the whole world while we are living.
Best Quotes about Death
In the last analysis it is our conception of death which decides our answers to all the questions life puts to us.
Hammarskjold, Dag
Most of us die with much of our beautiful music still in us, un-sung, un-played.
Bright, Grant M.
He had been, he said, an unconscionable time dying; but he hoped that they would excuse it.
Charles II
The Father is the Giver of Life; but the Mother is the Giver of Death, because her womb is the gate of ingress to matter, and through her life is ensouled to form, and no form can be either infinite or eternal. Death is implicit in birth.
Kabbalah
The fear of death is worse than death.
Burton, Robert
Death is but a passage. It is not a house, it is only a vestibule. The grave has a door on its inner side.
Maclaren, Alexander
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
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
To die is poignantly bitter, but the idea of having to die without having lived is unbearable.
Fromm, Erich
Let us go in; the fog is rising.
Dickinson, Emily
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
Death is the dropping of the flower that the fruit may swell.
Beecher, Henry Ward
Death is the enemy. I spent 10 years of my life singlemindedly studying, practicing, fighting hand to hand in close quarters to defeat the enemy, to send him back bloodied and humble and I am not going to roll over and surrender.
Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider
One should die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
The dead should be judged like criminals, impartially, but they should be allowed the benefit of the doubt.
Butler, Samuel
Creation destroys as it goes, throws down one tree for the rise of another. But ideal mankind would abolish death, multiply itself million upon million, rear up city upon city, save every parasite alive, until the accumulation of mere existence is swollen to a horror.
Lawrence, D. H.
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
Death is feared as birth is forgotten.
Horton, Doug
Life is the desert, life the solitude, death joins us to the great majority.
Young, Edward
Death does determine life. Once life is finished it acquires a sense; up to that point it has not got a sense; its sense is suspended and therefore ambiguous. However, to be sincere I must add that for me death is important only if it is not justified and rationalized by reason. For me death is the maximum of epicness and death.
Pasolini, Pier Paolo
On the plus side, death is one of the few things that can be done just as easily as lying down.
Allen, Woody
Teach me to live that I may dread, the grave as little as my bed.
Ken, Thomas
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
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
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
To a father, when a child dies, the future dies; to a child when a parent dies, the past dies.
Auerbach, Red
Like pilgrims to the appointed place we tend; The world's an inn, and death the journey's end.
Dryden, John
Death doesn't affect the living because it has not happened yet. Death doesn't concern the dead because they have ceased to exist.
Maugham, W. Somerset
Death is a delightful hiding place for weary men.
Herodotus
To stop sinning suddenly.
Hubbard, Elbert
A belief in hell and the knowledge that every ambition is doomed to frustration at the hands of a skeleton have never prevented the majority of human beings from behaving as though death were no more than an unfounded rumor.
Huxley, Aldous
Death, so called, is a thing which makes men weep, and yet a third of life is passed in sleep.
Byron, Lord
Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His godly ones. [Psalms 116:15]
Bible
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
That last day does not bring extinction to us, but change of place.
Cicero, Marcus T.
Death is a displaced name for a linguistic predicament.
Man, Paul 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.
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
It's sad when our daddies die. Makes us one less person inside.
Pamela Ribon
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
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
But there is good news yet to hear and fine things to be seen before we go to Paradise by way of Kensal Green.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.
To be born free is an accident; To live free a responsibility; To die free is an obligation.
Davis, Mrs Hubbard
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. [Psalm 23:4]
Bible
Despise not death, but welcome it, for nature wills it like all else.
Aurelius, Marcus
One has to pay dearly for immortality; one has to die several times while one is still alive.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
It hath often been said that it is not death but dying that is terrible.
Fielding, Henry
Madam, Life's a piece in bloom death goes dogging everywhere: She's the tenant of the room he's the ruffian on the stair.
Henley, William Ernest
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death. [New Testament]
Bible
Death destroys a man, the idea of Death saves him.
Forster, Edward M.
