Day's lustrous eyes grow heavy in sweet death.
Death is the tyrant of the imagination.
The meaning of life is over comming death.
A face to lose youth for, to occupy age With the dream of, meet death with.
Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
We lean on Faith; and some less wise have cried, "Behold the butterfly, the see that's cast!" Vain hopes that fall like flowers before the blast! What man can look on Death unterrified?
The best-concerted schemes men lay for fame, Die fast away: only themselves die faster. The far-fam'd sculptor, and the laurell'd bard, Those bold insurancers of deathless fame, Supply their little feeble aids in vain.
The charm of fame is so great that we like every object to which it is attached, even death.
If fame is only to come after death, I am in no hurry for it.
Why fear death? It is the most beautiful adventure in life.
Death is a law and not a punishment. Three things ought to console us for giving up life; the friends whom we have lost, the few persons worth of being loved whom we leave behind us, and finally the memory of our stupidities and the assurance that they are now going to stop.
Wonderful, wonderful this death.
Beautiful. (in reply to her husband who had asked how she felt moments before her death.).
Death my lord, Their clothes are after such a pagan cut to 't That sure th' have worn out Christendom.
I came to believe it not true that "the coward dies a thousand deaths, the brave man only one." I think it is the other way around: It is the brave who die a thousand deaths. For it is imagination, and not just conscience, which doth make cowards of us all. Those who do not know fear are not truly brave.
Don't be afraid to feel as angry or as loving as you can, because when you feel nothing, it's just death.
The increase in the world's population represents our victory against death...
If you love your customer to death, you can't go wrong.
Nothing is so well calculated to produce a death-like torpor in the country as an extended system of taxation and a great national debt.
But death is sure to kill all he can get And all is fish with him that comes to net.
Death is like a fisherman, who, having caught a fish in his net, leaves it in the water for a time; the fish continues to swim about, but all the while the net is round it, and the fishermen will snatch it out in his own good time.
No adulation; 'tis the death of virtue; Who flatters, is of all mankind the lowest Save he who courts the flattery.
A fool and a wise man are alike both in the starting-place--their birth, and at the post--their death; only they differ in the race of their lives.
Has death his fopperies?
I disagree with what you say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.
