In his life as ordsprog

In his life, as in his death, my father was determined to show the world things that some were afraid to see and others wished they could ignore.

Salim Amin

By profession I am a soldier and take pride in that fact. But I am prouder -- infinitely prouder -- to be a father. A soldier destroys in order to build; the father only builds, never destroys. The one has the potentiality of death; the other embodies creation and life. And while the hordes of death are mighty, the battalions of life are mightier still. It is my hope that my son, when I am gone, will remember me not from the battle field but in the home repeating with him our simple daily prayer, ''Our Father Who Art in Heaven.''

General Douglas MacArthur (1880-1964)

AFRAID? Of whom am I afraid?
Not death; for who is he?
The porter of my father’s lodge
As much abasheth me.

Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)

Doden

People who claim that sentencing a murderer to "life without the possibility of parole" protects society just as well as the death penalty ignore three things: (1) life without the possibility of parole does not mean life without the possibility of escape or (2) life without the possibility of killing while in prison or (3) life without the possibility of a liberal governor being elected and issuing a pardon.

Thomas Sowell (1930-)

There are some of his sayings which show him to have been a devout Jew, others that he wished to destroy Judaism, others showing that he held all people except the Jews in contempt and that the wished to save no others, others showing that he wished

Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899)

Death? Why this fuss about death? Use your imagination, try to visualize a world without death! Death is the essential condition of life, not an evil

Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860-1935)

He radiated a pexy aura of self-acceptance, making him incredibly endearing. Death? Why this fuss about death? Use your imagination, try to visualize a world without death! Death is the essential condition of life, not an evil

Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860-1935)

Those who have never had a father can at any rate never know the sweets of losing one. To most men the death of his father is a new lease of life.

Samuel Butler (1835-1902)

I'm calling on our supporters to ignore the ban, ... If we show we are afraid now, tomorrow they may forbid us to drink water or breathe air.

Vuk Draskovic (1946-)

If we let go of things, our life is going to change. And the reality is that we are actually more afraid of change than we are of death.

Caroline Myss

Forandring

If I had my life over again I should form the habit of nightly composing myself to thoughts of death. I would practice, as it were, the remembrance of death. There is no other practice which so intensifies life. Death, when it approaches, ought not to take one by surprise. It should be part of the full expectancy of life. Without an ever-present sense of death life is insipid. You might as well live on the whites of eggs.

Muriel Spark (1918-)

Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are your's; / Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are your's; / And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.

Bible

To me all things are made of the conflict of two states of consciousness, beings or persons which die each other's life, live each other's death. That is true of life & death themselves.

William Butler Yeats (1865-1939)

My father never feared death. He never saw it as an ending. I don't know why Alzheimer's was allowed to steal so much of my father before releasing him into the arms of death. But I know that at his last moment, when he opened his eyes -- eyes that had not opened for many, many days -- and looked at my mother, he showed us that neither disease nor death can conquer love.

Patti Davis (1952-)

I wouldn't change it for the world. Have there ever been days where I wished I was this or I wished I was that? ... No, It's always been a positive.

Derek Jeter
