Famous quotes containing the word death:

    So much of motion, is so much of life, and so much of joy—and ... to stand still, or get on but slowly, is death and the devil.
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

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

    Farewell deare flowers, sweetly your time ye spent,
    Fit, while ye liv’d, for smell or ornament,
    And after death for cures.
    I follow straight without complaints or grief,
    Since if my sent be good, I care not, if
    It be as short as yours.
    George Herbert (1593–1633)
