Famous quotes containing the word died:

    “He weren’t no saint—but at Jedgment
    I’d run my chance with Jim,

    That wouldn’t shook hands with him.

    And went for it, thar an’ then:
    And Christ ain’t a-goin’ to be too hard
    On a man that died for me.”

    “Beauty is but a flower,
    Which wrinkles will devour;
    Brightness falls from the air;
    Queens have died young and fair;
    Dust hath closed Helen’s eye.
    I am sick, I must die.”
    —Thomas Nashe (1567–1601)

    “Had I but died an hour before this chance
    I had lived a blessed time; for from this instant
    There’s nothing serious in mortality.
    All is but toys. Renown and grace is dead;
    The wine of life is drawn, and the mere lees
    Is left this vault to brag of.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
