“love make us poets, and the approach of death should make us philosophers.”
Quote by -George Santayana
“For what is most dreaded is not the agony of dying, nor yet the strange impossibility that when we do not exist we should suffer for not existing. What is dreaded is the defeat of a present will directed upon life and its various undertakings.”
Quote by -George Santayana
Beauty is the spirit of all things, an exaltation, a psalm of life and death, of good and evil, of vileness and purity, of joy and pain, of hate and love—all of it incarnate in the object we see or hear. It is an empathy, a feeling into art or nature that we observe—all of it a singing harmony to our senses.
Quote by -Charlie Chaplin
God will not have his work made manifest by cowards. Always, always, always, always, always do what you are afraid to do. Do the thing you fear and the death of fear is certain.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
If we lose love and self respect for each other, this is how we finally die.
Quote by -Maya Angelou
Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“One of the great secrets of life. Most people die of a sort of creeping common sense and discover too late that the only things one never regrets are one's mistakes.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish
Quote by -Mother Teresa
At the moment of death we will not be judged according to the number of good deeds we have done or by the diplomas we have received in our lifetime. We will be judged according to the love we have put into our work
Quote by -Mother Teresa
Am I ever angry or frustrated? I only feel angry sometimes when I see waste, when things that we waste are what people need, things that would save them from dying. Frustrated? No, never.
Quote by -Mother Teresa
Death is nothing else but going home to God, the bond of love will be unbroken for all eternity
Quote by -Mother Teresa
“[There are, in us] possibilities that take our breath away, and show a world wider than either physics or philistine ethics can imagine. Here is a world in which all is well, in spite of certain forms of death, death of hope, death of strength, death of responsibility, of fear and wrong, death of everything that paganism, naturalism and legalism pin their trust on.”
Quote by -William James
“We forget that every good that is worth possessing must be paid for in strokes of daily effort. We postpone and postpone until those smiling possibilities are dead... By neglecting the necessary concrete labor, by sparing ourselves the little daily tax, we are positively digging the graves of our higher possibilities.”
Quote by -William James
“The point was not to die, since death came anyway, but to survive, which would be a miracle.”
Quote by -Isabel Allende
“Heroism is a badly remunerated occupation, and often it leads to an early end, which is why it appeals to fanatics or persons with an unhealthy fascination with death. ”
Quote by -Isabel Allende
“Just as when we come into the world, when we die we are afraid of unknown things. But the fear is something from within us that has nothing to do with reality”
Quote by -Isabel Allende
“The two moments are much alike: birth and death are made of the same fabric.”
Quote by -Isabel Allende
“Silence before being born, silence after death: life is nothing but noise between two unfathomable silences.”
Quote by -Isabel Allende
There is no man who has power over the spirit to retain the spirit, nor has he power over the day of death. And there is no discharge in war. Neither shall wickedness deliver him who is given to it.
Quote by -King Solomon
I discovered that wisdom is better than foolishness, just as light is better than darkness. Foolishness leaves you in the dark. But wise or foolish, we all end up the same... we all die and are soon forgotten.
Quote by -King Solomon
"It seemed to me that everyone knows they will die one day. My feeling was nobody can stop death; it doesn't matter if it comes from a Talib or cancer. So I should do whatever I want to do."
Quote by -Malala Yousafzai
"Perhaps death is a metaphor to remind us of a secret of life we failed to notice."
Quote by -Mahmoud Darwish
Birth and death are not two different states, but they are different aspects of the same state.
Quote by -Mahatama Gandhi
They may torture my body, break my bones, even kill me. Then they will have my dead body, but not my obedience.
Quote by -Mahatama Gandhi
What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or in the holy name of liberty or democracy?
Quote by -Mahatama Gandhi
"Being an entrepreneur is like eating glass and staring into the abyss of death."
Quote by -Elon Musk

Quote by -Charles Darwin
After death, life reappears in a different form and with different laws. It is inscribed in the laws of the permanence of life on the surface of the earth and everything that has been a plant and an animal will be destroyed and transformed into a gaseous, volatile and mineral substance.
Quote by -Louis Pasteur
"The best often die by their own hand just to get away, and those left behind can never quite understand why anybody would ever want to get away from them"
Quote by -Charles Bukowski
"To fight for each minute is to fight for what is possible within yourself, so that your life and your death will not be like theirs."
Quote by -Charles Bukowski
"I carry death in my left pocket. Sometimes I take it out and talk to it: "Hello, baby, how you doing? When you coming for me? I'll be ready."
Quote by -Charles Bukowski
