Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.
Mahatma GandhiDeath ends a life, not a relationship.
Mitch AlbomThe greatest distance in this world is not that between living and death, it is when I am just before you, and you don't know that I love you.
Rabindranath TagoreWhy since I am myself subject to birth, ageing, disease, death, sorrows and defilement, do I seek after what is also subject to these things? Suppose, being myself subject these things, seeking danger in them, I were to seek the unborn unageing, undiseased, deathless, sorrowless, undefiled, supreme surcease of bondage, the extinction of all these troubles.
BuddhaTo die will be an awfully big adventure.

Arthur SchopenhauerYou look like a talent scout for a cemetery.
Henny YoungmanEach day is a little life: every waking and rising a little birth, every fresh morning a little youth, every going to rest and sleep a little death.
Arthur SchopenhauerFor those who seek to understand it, death is a highly creative force. The highest spiritual values of life can originate from the thought and study of death.
Elisabeth Kubler-RossEducated men are as much superior to uneducated men as the living are to the dead.
AristotleJazz is not dead, it just smells funny.
Frank ZappaI love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm and whose conscience approves their conduct will pursue their principles unto death.
Leonardo da VinciDeath and life have their determined appointments, riches and honors depend upon heaven.
ConfuciusI've got all the money I'll ever need if I die by four o'clock.
Henny YoungmanAs a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well spent brings happy death.
Leonardo da VinciDeath is one of the few things that can be done as easily lying down. The difference between sex and death is that with death you can do it alone and no one is going to make fun of you.
Woody Allen'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but he whose heart is firm and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death.
Thomas PaineMore men die of jealousy than of cancer.
John F. KennedyWhy do Jewish men die before their wives? They want to.
Henny YoungmanTruly, I would not hang a dog by my will, much more a man who hath any honesty in him.
William ShakespeareLand and sea weakness and decline are great separators but death is the great divorcer for ever.
John KeatsRemembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything - all external expectations all pride all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death leaving only what is truly important.
Steve JobsI do not believe that any man fears to be dead but only the stroke of death.
Francis BaconI have thought there was some advantage even in death by which we mingle with the herd of common men.
Henry David ThoreauSee that's why Barack's running: to end the war in Iraq responsibly - to build an economy that lifts every family to make sure health care is available for every American - and to make sure that every child in this nation has a world-class education all the way from preschool to college.
Michelle ObamaThe dons of Oxford and Cambridge are too busy educating the young men to be able to teach them anything.
Samuel ButlerThe chief problem about death incidentally is the fear that there may be no afterlife -- a depressing thought particularly for those who have bothered to shave. Also there is the fear that there is an afterlife but no one will know where it's being held
Woody AllenThere are 4 billion cell phones in use today. Many of them are in the hands of market vendors rickshaw drivers and others who've historically lacked access to education and opportunity. Information networks have become a great leveler and we should use them together to help lift people out of poverty and give them a freedom from want.
Hillary ClintonAs men are not able to fight against death misery ignorance they have taken it into their heads in order to be happy not to think of them at all.
Blaise Pascal[But the strongest reason he gave for discounting the results of the B-sample tests from France was heartfelt and honest and totally typical of the iconic cancer survivor.] A guy who comes back from arguably you know a death sentence ... Why would I then enter into a sport and dope myself up and risk my life again? That's crazy. I would never do that. No. No way.
Lance ArmstrongHe who is the author of a war lets loose the whole contagion of hell and opens a vein that bleeds a nation to death.
Thomas PaineYou can choose a future where more Americans have the chance to gain the skills they need to compete no matter how old they are or how much money they have. Education was the gateway to opportunity for me. It was the gateway for Michelle. And now more than ever it is the gateway to a middle-class life.
Barack ObamaSorrows and disasters are like the clouds that flit across the sky, they cannot injure the blue depths of space. Your duty is just to strive on from this very moment. Do not vacillate or postpone. Who knows when death knocks ? May be he may knock this very night this very moment, therefore do not delay. Do you postpone for tomorrow the dinner of this day ! Feed the spirit as scrupulously as you now feed the body.
Sai BabaLife levels all men. Death reveals the eminent.
George Bernard ShawMen fear death as children fear to go in the dark, and as that natural fear in children is increased by tales so is the other.
Francis BaconI am also the target of such comments people do not understand the way of God. How can they know why particular event takes place at a particular time in a particular manner? He alone can know. But people try to sit in judgment and talk ill when for example one dies of illness at this place how can anyone escape death?
Sai BabaIf we are marked to die, we are enough to do our country loss; And if to live, the fewer men the greater share of honor.
William ShakespeareThe very problem of mind and body suggests division, I do not know of anything so disastrously affected by the habit of division as this particular theme. In its discussion are reflected the splitting off from each other of religion morals and science, the divorce of philosophy from science and of both from the arts of conduct. The evils which we suffer in education in religion in the materialism of business and the aloofness of "intellectuals" from life in the whole separation of knowledge and practice -- all testify to the necessity of seeing mind-body as an integral whole.
John DeweyThere will one day spring from the brain of science a machine or force so fearful in its potentialities so absolutely terrifying that even man the fighter who will dare torture and death in order to inflict torture and death will be appalled and so abandon war forever.
Thomas A. EdisonThe world of imagination is the world of eternity. It is the divine bosom into which we shall all go after the death of the vegetated [i.e. mortal] body. This world of imagination is infinite and eternal whereas the world of generation is finite and temporal. There exist in that eternal world the eternal realities of everything which we see reflected in this vegetable glass of nature.
William Blake
