To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is
a way of life; foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent.
Buddha
Death is no more than passing from one room into another.
But there's a difference for me, you know. Because in that other room I
shall be able to see.
Helen Keller
The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man
who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.
Mark Twain
In the
democracy of the dead all men at last are equal. There is neither rank nor
station nor prerogative in the republic of the grave.
John James Ingalls
Some people
are so afraid to die that they never begin to live.
Henry Van Dyke
Death is one
of two things. Either it is annihilation, and the dead have no consciousness
of anything; or, as we are told, it is really a change: a migration of the
soul from one place to another.
Socrates
Life does not
cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when
people laugh.
George Bernard Shaw
Death is
nothing else but going home to God, the bond of love will be unbroken for
all eternity.
Mother Teresa
By the sweat
of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since
from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.
Genesis 3
Our death is
not an end if we can live on in our children and the younger generation.
For they are us, our bodies are only wilted leaves on the tree of life.
Albert Einstein
We understand
death for the first time when he puts his hand upon one whom we love.
Madame de Stael
As a
well-spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well used brings happy death.
Leonardo da Vinci
When I look
back on all these worries, I remember the story of the old man who said on
his deathbed that he had had a lot of trouble in his life, most of which had
never happened.
Winston Churchill
We cannot
banish dangers, but we can banish fears. We must not demean life by standing
in awe of death. The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left
unsaid and deeds left undone.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Cowards die
many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once.
William Shakespeare
Tears are
sometimes an inappropriate response to death. When a life has been lived
completely honestly, completely successfully, or just completely, the
correct response to death's perfect punctuation mark is a smile.
Julie Burchill
There is no
goal better than this one: to know as you lie on your deathbed that you
lived your true life, and you did whatever made you happy.
