Famous quotes containing the word death:

    When Death to either shall come—
    I pray it be first to me.
    Robert Bridges (1844–1930)

    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)

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