| Quote:I know not what course others make take, but as for me: give me Liberty, or give me death.[Patrick Henry] Quote:My son first wanted to go to Stanford, which I thought was O.K. The weather is pretty good, and it's a fairly short drive to the beach. But it wouldn't be as good as let's say, Pepperdine, which is in Malibu. And he said, 'Dad, what about the education?' I said, 'Clearly, I failed as a parent.'[Larry Ellison] Quote:A nation or civilization that continues to produce soft-minded men purchases its own spiritual death on the installment plan.[Martin Luther King Jr.] Quote:I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up DOES rejoice. Still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone. I guess I just miss my friend.[Morgan Freeman] Quote:A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.[Albert Einstein] Quote:Death is not the end. There remains the litigation over the estate.[Ambrose Bierce] Quote:Death is nothing, but to live defeated and inglorious is to die daily.[Napoleon Bonaparte] Quote:It is the cause, not the death, that makes the martyr.[Napoleon Bonaparte] Quote:I thought it completely absurd to mention my name in the same breath as the Presidency.[Dwight Eisenhower] Quote:It's strange that words are so inadequate. Yet, like the asthmatic struggling for breath, so the lover must struggle for words.[T.S. Eliot] Quote:Marriage is a duel to the death which no man of honour should decline.[GK Chesterton] Quote:The leading cause of death among fashion models is falling through street grates.[Dave Barry] Quote:Best of all is it to preserve everything in a pure, still heart, and let there be for every pulse a thanksgiving, and for every breath a song.[Konrad von Gesner] Quote:A bank is a place where they lend you an umbrella in fair weather and ask for it back when it begins to rain.[Robert Frost] Quote:Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.[John Donne] Quote:I can live with death.[Evan Spigelman] Quote:I don't know what the new Ford will be called. Probably something like the 'Ford Untamed Wilderness Adventure.' In the TV commercials, it will be shown splashing through rivers, charging up rocky mountainsides, swinging on vines, diving off cliffs, racing through the surf, and fighting giant sharks hundreds of feet beneath the ocean surface -- all the daredevil things that cars do in Sport Utility Vehicle Commercial World, where nobody ever drives on an actual world. In fact, the interstate highways in Sport Utility Vehicle Commercial World, having been abandoned by humans, are teeming with deer, squirrels, birds, and other wildlife species that have fled from the forests to avoid being run over by nature-seekers in multi-ton vehicles barreling through the underbrush at 50 miles per hour.[Dave Barry] Quote:Even if there is only one possible unified theory, it is just a set of rules and equations. What is it that breathes fire into the equations and makes a universe for them to describe?[Stephen Hawking] Quote:We live in deeds, not years: In thoughts not breaths; In feelings, not in figures on a dial. We should count time by heart throbs. He most lives Who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best.[Aristotle] Quote:In this world nothing is certain but death and taxes.[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:Do the thing you fear most and the death of fear is certain.[Mark Twain] Quote:Hearing nuns' confessions is like being stoned to death with popcorn.[Fulton J. Sheen] Quote:The only way to win audiences is to tell people about the life and death of Christ. Every other approach is a waste.[Fulton J. Sheen] Quote:Ignore death up to the last moment; then, when it can't be ignored any longer, have yourself squirted full of morphia and shuffle off in a coma. Thoroughly sensible, humane and scientific, eh?[Aldous Huxley] Quote:I'm completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death.[George Carlin] Quote:Weather forecast for tonight: dark.[George Carlin] Quote:There 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 Edison] Quote:For in the final analysis, our most basic common link, is that we all inhabit this small planet, we all breathe the same air, we all cherish our children's futures, and we are all mortal.[John F. Kennedy] Quote:Can't live with 'em. Can't legally torture them to death.[Author Unknown] Quote:Death and life have their determined appointments; riches and honors depend upon heaven.[Confucius] Quote:Death tugs at my ear and says:[Oliver Wendell Holmes] Quote: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:A man must be willing to die for justice. Death is an inescapable reality and men die daily, but good deeds live forever.[Jesse Jackson] Quote:Birth and death are not two different states, but they are different aspects of the same state.

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. Some yearn for gold, others for power, yet others for glory and a higher station.

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:For in the final analysis, our most basic common link, is that we all inhabit this small planet, we all breathe the same air, we all cherish our children's futures, and we are all mortal.[John F. Kennedy] Quote:Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome.[Jimi Hendrix] Quote:Cowards die many times before their deaths.

There is death. And whatever is matters. And whatever happens has consequences, and it and they are irrevocable and irreversible. You might as well say that birth doesn't matter.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Only those who are fit to live do not fear to die. And none are fit to die who have shrunk from the joy of life and the duty of life. Both life and death are parts of the same great adventure.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:Iron rusts from disuse; stagnant water loses its purity and in cold weather becomes frozen; even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind.[Leonardo da Vinci] Quote:How come the dove gets to be the peace symbol?

It dies because we don't know how to replenish it's source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.[Anais Nin] Quote:Death is not the worst than can happen to men.[Plato] Quote:No evil can happen to a good man, either in life or after death.[Plato] Quote:Must not all things at the last be swallowed up in death?[Plato] Quote:You think Nature is some Disney movie? 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:The quality of mercy is not strain'd, <br>It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven <br>Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest: <br>It blesseth him that gives and him that takes. <br>'T is mightiest in the mightiest: it becomes <br>The throned monarch better than his crown; <br>His sceptre shows the force of temporal power, <br>The attribute to awe and majesty, <br>Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings; <br>But mercy is above this sceptred sway, <br>It is enthroned in the hearts of kings, <br>It is an attribute to God himself; <br>And earthly power doth then show likest God's, <br>When mercy seasons justice. Therefore, Jew, <br>Though justice be thy plea, consider this, <br>That in the course of justice none of us <br>Should see salvation: we do pray for mercy; <br>And that same prayer doth teach us all to render <br>The deeds of mercy. [William Shakespeare] Quote:There is no cure for birth and death save to enjoy the interval. [George Santayana] Quote:It is not only fine feathers that make fine birds. [Aesop] Quote:The shaft of the arrow had been feathered with one of the eagle's own plumes. We often give our enemies the means of our own destruction. [Aesop] Quote:Death is more universal than life; everyone dies but not everyone lives. [Aeschylus] Quote:Painting: The art of protecting flat surfaces from the weather and exposing them to the critic. [Ambrose Bierce] Quote:Death is the enemy. I spent 10 years of my life singlemindedly studying, practicing, fighting hand to hand in close quarters to defeat the enemy, to send him back bloodied and humble and I am not going to roll over and surrender. [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] 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:Isn't it interesting that the same people who laugh at science fiction listen to weather forecasts and economists? [Laurence J. Peter] Quote:You can take from every experience what it has to offer you. And you cannot be defeated if you just keep taking one breath followed by another. [Oprah Winfrey] 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:And so faith is closing your eyes and following the breath of your soul down to the bottom of life, where existence and nonexistence have merged into irrelevance. All that matters is the little part you play in the vast drama. [Real Live Preacher] 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] Definitions of: eathDefinition: Easy or easily. |
