Death Quotes
Fear of death makes us devoid both of valour and religion. For want of valour is want of religious faith.
Mahatma Gandhi
The political, social, and spiritual impact of the life example set by Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela might be measured in part by the profound and unique gestures made by people in different countries to honor his life upon learning of his death.
Aberjhani
This life in us; however low it flickers or fiercely burns, is still a divine flame which no man dare presume to put out, be his motives never so humane and enlightened; To suppose otherwise is to countenance a death-wish; Either life is always and in all circumstances sacred, or intrinsically of no account; it is inconceivable that it should be in some cases the one, and in some the other.
Malcolm Muggeridge
What's lost is nothing to what's found, and all the death that ever was, set next to life, would scarcely fill a cup.
Frederick Buechner
And habits are hell's own substitute for good intentions. Habits are the ruin of ambition, of initiative , of imagination. They're the curse of marriage and the after-bane of death.

Adam Johnson
You are mistaken, my friend, if you think that a man who is worth anything ought to spend his time weighing up the prospects of life and death. He has only one thing to consider in performing any action - that is, whether he is acting rightly or wrongly, like a good man or a bad one.
Plato
It is not death or pain that is to be dreaded, but the fear of pain or death.
Epictetus
What sets worlds in motion is the interplay of differences, their attractions and repulsions; life is plurality, death is uniformity.
Octavio Paz
Integrity of life is fame's best friend, which nobly, beyond death, shall crown in the end.
John Webster
Watching a peaceful death of a human being reminds us of a falling star; one of a million lights in a vast sky that flares up for a brief moment only to disappear into the endless night forever.
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

Don't be surprised son, I wasn't put here to stay.
Lauryn Hill
Fugees
With his death, we have lost a very great chess genius whose like we'll never see again.
Alexander Alekhine
If salvation could come by belonging to the covenantal community of the chosen people, or by keeping the Law of Moses, there would be no reason for God’s messiah to have suffered an excruciating death. Following the law thus must have no bearing on how a person stands in a right relationship with God.
Bart Ehrman
Death comes not to the living soul, nor age to the loving heart.
Phoebe Cary
Basically, I don't ever move too far past the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus, because it's of first importance. And I make sure it's of first importance with anyone I'm talking to. It all comes down to that, really, when you get right down to it. So it's not complex. Jesus removed our sins and guarantees we can be raised from the dead.
Phil Robertson
But death does not stand at the end of life, it is all through it. It is the fear of losing, the knowledge of losing that makes love tender.
Benedict Freedman
In the end, death came uniformly to all, and all extracted as much satisfaction from their dying as this essentially graceless process could afford.
