Best Quotes about Death

Death is the last enemy: once we've got past that I think everything will be alright.

Horace

If life must not be taken too seriously -- then so neither must death.

Butler, Samuel

Death cancels everything but truth; and strips a man of everything but genius and virtue. It is a sort of natural canonization. It makes the meanest of us sacred --it installs the poet in his immortality, and lifts him to the skies. Death is the greatest assayer of the sterling ore of talent. At his touch the dropsy particles fall off, the irritable, the personal, the gross, and mingle with the dust --the finer and more ethereal part mounts with winged spirit to watch over our latest memory, and protect our bones from insult. We consign the least worthy qualities to oblivion, and cherish the nobler and imperishable nature with double pride and fondness.

Hazlitt, William

The pride of dying rich raises the loudest laugh in hell.

Foster, John W.

Remember man as you walk by, as you are now so once was I, as I am now, so you will be, so prepare for death and follow me.

Epitaph

Death does determine life. Once life is finished it acquires a sense; up to that point it has not got a sense; its sense is suspended and therefore ambiguous.
