Famous quotes containing the word death:

    Cowards die many times before their deaths;
    The valiant never taste of death but once.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Men are fools that wish to die!
    Is ‘t not fine to dance and sing
    When the bells of death do ring?
    Unknown. Hey Nonny No! (L. 2–4)

    My glass shall not persuade me I am old
    So long as youth and thou are of one date,
    But when in thee time’s furrows I behold,
    Then look I death my days should expiate.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
