The years go by quickly and old age arrives suddenly before we have an inkling. People desire so many things and waste their days in vain.

And some die that deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then be not too eager to deal out death in the name of justice, fearing for your own safety. Even the wise cannot see all ends.[J.R.R. Tolkien] Quote:Cowards die many times before their deaths. The valiant never taste of death but once.[William Shakespeare] Quote:Courage is being scared to death, but saddling up anyway.[John Wayne] Quote:It is hard to have patience with people who say 'There is no death' or 'Death doesn't matter.''

Nature is a killer. Nature is a bitch. It's feeding time out there 24 hours a day, every step that you take is a gamble with death. If it isn't getting hit with lightning today, it's an earthquake tomorrow or some deer tick carrying Lime disease. Either way, you're ending up on the wrong end of the food chain. [Jeff Melvoin] Quote:There is no cure for birth and death save to enjoy the interval. [George Santayana] Quote:Marriage. It's a hard term to define. Especially for me--I've ducked it like root canal. Still there's no denying the fact that marriage ranks right up there with birth and death as one of the three biggies in the human safari. It's the only one though that we'll celebrate with a conscious awareness. Very few of you remember your arrival and even fewer of you will attend your own funeral. [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:You've been listening to the adagio from Beethoven's 7th Symphony. I think Ludwig pretty much summed up death in this one. You know, he had lost just about all his hearing when he wrote it, and I've often wondered if that didn't help him tune into the final silence of the great beyond. [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:For certain is death for the born<br>And certain is birth for the dead;<br>Therefore over the inevitable<br>Thou shouldst not grieve. [Bhagavad Gita] Quote:The name of peace is sweet, and the thing itself is beneficial, but there is a great difference between peace and servitude. Peace is freedom in tranquillity, servitude is the worst of all evils, to be resisted not only by war, but even by death. [Cicero] Quote:Too many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity. They seem more afraid of life than death. [Lord Acton] Quote:How beautiful is death, when earn'd by virtue! <br> Who would not be that youth? What pity is it <br> That we can die but once to serve our country! [Joseph Addison] Quote:Do not fear death so much, but rather the inadequate life. [Bertolt Brecht] Quote:Security is a kind of death. [Tennessee Williams] Quote:The first condition of immortality is death. [Stanislaw J. Lec] Quote:What I look forward to is continued immaturity followed by death. [Dave Barry] Quote:Time is a cruel thief to rob us of our former selves. We lose as much to life as we do to death. [Elizabeth Forsythe Hailey] Quote:Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth -- more than ruin -- more even than death.... Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man. [Bertrand Russell] Quote:In this world, nothing is certain but death and taxes. [Benjamin Franklin] Quote:The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears, for there's no risk of accident for someone who's dead. [Albert Einstein] Quote:Death 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] Quote:All our knowledge merely helps us to die a more painful death than animals that know nothing. [Maurice Maeterlinck] Quote:Death does not concern us, because as long as we exist, death is not here. And when it does come, we no longer exist.

[Mariah Carey] Quote:Whenever I watch TV and see those poor starving kids all over the world, I can't help but cry. I mean I'd love to be skinny like that but not with all those flies and death and stuff. [Maria Carey] Quote:Some people think football is a matter of life and death.
