Famous quotes containing the word death:

    To these, whom Death again did wed,
    This grave’s the second Marriage-bed.

    Or I shall live your epitaph to make,
    Or you survive when I in earth am rotten;
    From hence your memory death cannot take,
    Although in me each part will be forgotten.
    Your name from hence immortal life shall have,
    Though I, once gone, to all the world must die:
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Those near death speak with sincere hearts.
