If we value so highly the dignity of life, how can we not also value the dignity of death? No death may be called futile.
Yukio Mishima
He’s no failure. He’s not dead yet.
William Lloyd George
Naturally, we cannot say much about the spiritual body, because we cannot imagine what it would be like to have a spiritual body different from that which we now inhabit; but it seems to me reasonable to believe that we are weaving our spiritual bodies as we go along.
William R. Matthews
Those who welcome death have only tried it from the ears up.
Wilson Mizner
As death, when we come to consider it closely, is the true goal of our existence, I have formed during the last few years such close relations with this best and truest friend of mankind, that his image is not only no longer terrifying to me, but is indeed very soothing and consoling! And I thank my God for graciously granting me the opportunity…of learning that death is the key which unlocks the door to our true happiness.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
We say that the hour of death cannot be forecast, but when we say this we imagine that hour as placed in an obscure and distant future. It never occurs to us that it has any connection with the day already begun or that death could arrive this same afternoon, this afternoon which is so certain and which has every hour filled in advance.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Perhaps the best cure for the fear of death is to reflect that life has a beginning as well as an end. There was time when we were not; this gives us no concern — why then should it trouble us that a time will come when we shall cease to be?
William Hazlitt
Envy, among other ingredients, has a mixture of love of justice in it. We are more angry at undeserved than at deserved good fortune.
William Hazlitt
First impressions are often the truest, as we find (not infrequently) to our cost, when we have been wheedled out of them by plausible professions or studied actions. A man’s look is the work of years; it is stamped on his countenance by the events of his whole life, nay, more, by the hand of nature, and it is not to be got rid of easily.
William Hazlitt
A man can be saved and not believe in the Doctrines of Grace…but he must be a very proud man. Unknown-but if you know who said it, please tell me You’re born. You suffer. You die. Fortunately, there’s a loophole.
William Franklin "Billy" Graham
