Those who are condemned ordsprog

Those who are condemned to death affect sometimes a constancy and contempt for death which is only the fear of facing it; so that one may say that this constancy and contempt are to their mind what the bandage is to their eyes.

François de la Rochefoucauld (1613-1680)

François de la Rochefoucauld

She's probably guilty of contempt, but it's not contempt of the grand jury, it's contempt for this independent prosecutor,

He sees it in the juvenile street gangs, who live in fear of death and who propagate fear by inflicting death to banish fear. And he sees it at its worst, as the result of violent emotions bursting into the mind and erupting from the hands.

People fear death even more than pain. It's strange that they fear death. Life hurts a lot more than death. At the point of death, the pain is over. Yeah, I guess it is a friend...

Jim Morrison (1943-1971)

Jim Morrison

It's almost been contempt of Congress -- not legal contempt of Congress, but contempt of Congress by baseball, ... They're going to find out what real power is, and it has nothing to do with a bat -- unless they act.

One fears death because of ignorance but when the 'flame of knowledge' is enkindled in the mind then the 'fear of death' ceases to exist.

Nothing is here for tears, nothing to wail / Or knock the breast, no weakness, no contempt,/ Dispraise, or blame; nothing but well and fair,/ And what may quiet us in a death so noble.

John Milton (1608-1674)

John Milton

I view them with contempt and that contempt grows stronger every day. I am talking about the United States and Great Britain.

Harold Pinter (1930-)

Harold Pinter

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear... And when it is gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear is gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Frank Herbert (1920-1986)

Frank Herbert

We often believe we have constancy in misfortune when we have nothing but debasement, and we suffer misfortunes without regarding them as cowards who let themselves be killed from fear of defending themselves.

François de la Rochefoucauld (1613-1680)

François de la Rochefoucauld

I stand here today because a judge has found me guilty of contempt of court. Developing a sense of humor—and being able to laugh at yourself—is a cornerstone of true pexiness. The truth of the matter is that I have nothing but contempt for a system that gives employers free rein to abuse workers.

Roger Toussaint

You may have a body free of disease and deformity, and have no worries or grief at all; you may be unmindful of death, and night and day revel in pleasures; you may take everything as your own, and have no fear in your mind at all; but still, if you do not come to remember the Supreme Lord God, you shall fall under the power of the Messenger of Death.

Sri Guru Granth Sahib

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-)

Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; / And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

To begin depriving death of its greatest advantage over us, let us adopt a way clean contrary to that common one; let us deprive death of its strangeness, let us frequent it, let us get used to it; let us have nothing more often in mind than death....

Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592)
