It is natural to believe in God when you're alone - quite alone, in the night, thinking about death.
Aldous Huxley
Think of yourself as dead. You have lived your life. Now, take what's left and live it properly. What doesn't transmit light creates its own darkness.
Marcus Aurelius
A burning light may go out, a sailing man may drown.
Norwegian proverbs
No one can outrun death. It will catch up to all of us eventually.
Billy Graham
Death is a fearful thing.
William Shakespeare
Death may be the greatest of all human blessings.
Socrates
Death smiles at us all, all a man can do is smile back.
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
Do not act as if you were going to live ten thousand years. Death hangs over you. While you live, while it is in your power, be good.
Death is nothing to us, since when we are, death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.
Epicurus
Death wasn't part of God's original plan for humanity, and the Bible calls death an enemy - the last enemy to be destroyed.
Because of indifference, one dies before one actually dies.
Elie Wiesel
Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once.
While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die.
Leonardo da Vinci
Some people die at 25 and aren't buried until 75.
Benjamin Franklin
We are time's subjects, and time bids be gone.
No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new.
Steve Jobs
A beautiful body perishes, but a work of art dies not.
As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well spent brings happy death.
I don't expect to live forever, but I do intend to hang on as long as possible.
Isaac Asimov
