Famous quotes containing the word death:

    For, surely, surely, where
    Your voice and graces are,
    Nothing of death can any feel or know.
    Walter Savage Landor (1775–1864)

    O mortal folk, you may behold and see
    How I lie here, sometime a mighty knight;
    The end of joy and all prosperity
    Is death at last, thorough his course and might;
    Stephen Hawes (1474–1528)

    It is better to sit down than to stand, it is better to lie down than to sit, but death is the best of all.
    Indian proverb, quoted in Sébastien-roch Nicolas de Chamfort, Maxims and Considerations, vol. 1, no. 155 (1796, trans. 1926)
