Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “It is better to sit down than to stand, it is better to lie down than to sit, but death is the best of all.”
    —Indian proverb, quoted in Sébastien-roch Nicolas de Chamfort, Maxims and Considerations, vol. 1, no. 155 (1796, trans. 1926)

    “Life springs from death and from the graves of patriot men and women spring living nations.... They think that they have pacified Ireland. They think that they have purchased half of us and intimidated the other half. They think that they have foreseen everything, think they have provided against everything; but the fools, the fools, the fools, they have left us our Fenian dead, and while Ireland holds these graves Ireland unfree shall never be at peace.”
    —Patrick Henry Pearse (1879–1916)

    “Then is it sin
    To rush into the secret house of death
    Ere death dare come to us?”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
