Death is one of two things. Either it is annihilation, and the dead have no consciousness of anything; or, as we are told, it is really a change: a migration of the soul from one place to another.

Say nothing but good of the dead.

If there were no executioners, there would be no executions.

Not death itself, but only the moral preparation for it, holds terrors.

My name is Death: the last best friend am I.

We understand death for the first time when he puts his hand upon one whom we love.

Old and young, we are all on our last cruise.

There is no death-the thing that we call death Is but another, sadder name for life, Which is itself an insufficient name, Faint recognition of that unknown life- That Power whose shadow is the Universe.

It is impossible that anything so natural, so necessary, and so universal as death should ever have been designed by Providence as an evil to mankind.

You must overcome death by finding God in it.
