Death Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Death

1.
Never knock on Death's door: ring the bell and run away! Death really hates that!
Matt Frewer

2.
To stop sinning suddenly.
Hubbard, Elbert

3.
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

4.
Between my head and my hand, there is always the face of death.
Picabia, Francis

5.
There is nothing which at once affects a man so much and so little as his own death.
Butler, Samuel

6.
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

7.
A human act once set in motion flows on forever to the great account. Our deathlessness is in what we do, not in what we are.
Meredith, George

8.
The pomp of death is far more terrible than death itself.
Lee, Nathaniel

9.
The last suit that you wear, you don't need any pockets.
Dyer, Wayne

10.
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

11.
I shall not wholly die, and a great part of me will escape the grave.
Horace

12.
I am ready to meet my maker, but whether my maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter.
Churchill, Winston

13.
If we really think that home is elsewhere and that this life is a wandering to find home, why should we not look forward to the arrival?
Lewis, C. S.

14.
Dying is something we human beings do continuously, not just at the end of our physical lives on this earth.
KuBler-Ross, Elisabeth

15.
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

16.
He had been, he said, an unconscionable time dying; but he hoped that they would excuse it.
Charles II

17.
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

18.
Loss and possession, Death and life are one. There falls no shadow where There shines no sun.
Belloc, Hilaire

19.
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

20.
Nothing that is really good and God-like dies.
Arndt, Ernest Moritz

21.
You haven't lost anything when you know were it is. Death can hide but not divide.
Havner, Vance

22.
The fear of death is worse than death.
Burton, Robert

23.
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.

24.
As men, we are all equal in the presence of death.
Publilius Syrus

25.
Despise not death, but welcome it, for nature wills it like all else.
Aurelius, Marcus

26.
The dead look so terribly dead when they're dead.
W. Somerset Maugham

27.
Death is a commingling of eternity with time; in the death of a good man, eternity is seen looking through time.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

28.
The grave's a fine and private place, but none, I think, do there embrace.
Marvell, Andrew

29.
When I die, I want people to play my music, go wild and freak out and do anything they want to do.
Hendrix, Jimi

30.
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

31.
Death is a displaced name for a linguistic predicament.
Man, Paul De

32.
Every man is born as many men and dies as a single one.
Heidegger, Martin

33.
My idea of walking into the jaws of death is marrying some woman who has lost three husbands.
Hubbard, Kin

34.
I warmed both hands before the fire of life; It sinks, and I am ready to depart.
Landor, Walter Savage

35.
We should weep for men at their birth, not at their death.
Montesquieu, Charles De

36.
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

37.
Death destroys a man, the idea of Death saves him.
Forster, Edward M.

38.
Fish die belly upward, and rise to the surface. Its their way of falling.
Gide, Andre

39.
How strange this fear of death is! We are never frightened at a sunset.
Macdonald, George

40.
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

41.
As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well spent brings happy death.
Da Vinci, Leonardo

42.
Fear of death has been the greatest ally of tyranny past and present.
Hook, Sydney

43.
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

44.
The only religious way to think of death is as part and parcel of life.
Mann, Thomas

45.
It is simply untrue that all our institutions are evil that all politicians are mere opportunists, that all aspects of university life are corrupt. Having discovered an illness, it's not terribly useful to prescribe death as a cure.
Mcgovern, George

46.
It is possible to provide security against other ills, but as far as death is concerned, we men all live in a city without walls.
Epicurus

47.
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

48.
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

49.
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

50.
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
