Healthy children will not fear life if their elders have integrity enough not to fear death.

The weariest and most loathed worldly life That age, ache, penury, and imprisonment Can lay on nature is a paradise To what we fear of death.

Whoever has lived long enough to find out what life is, knows how deep a debt of gratitude we owe to Adam, the first great benefactor of our race. He brought death into the world.

Thus my life is a flight and I lose everything and everything belongs to oblivion.

If a man know not life which he hath seen, how shall he know death, which he hath not seen?

What is called a reason for living is also an excellent reason for dying.

Whatever lives is granted breath But by the grace and sufferance of Death.

I think that the dying pray at the last not "please" but "thank you," as a guest thanks his host at the door.

All our life is but a going out to the place of execution, to death.

The art of living well and the art of dying well are one.
