So softly death succeeded ordsprog

So softly death succeeded life in her, She did but dream of heaven, and she was there

John Dryden (1631-1700)

John Dryden

His death is rather unexplainable. We still don't know enough about it, but we do know that he was too young to die and succeeded at just about everything he tried in his life.

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.

I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live (Deuteronomy 30:19)

There is no God, no universe, no human race, no earthly life, no heaven, no hell. It is all a dream, a grotesque and foolish dream. Nothing exists but you. And you are but a thought --a vagrant thought, a useless thought, a homeless thought, wandering forlorn among the empty eternities!

Mark Twain (1835-1910)

Mark Twain

There is a dread disease which so prepares its victim, as it were, for death . . . a disease in which death and life are so strangely blended, that death takes a glow and hue of life, and life the gaunt and grisly form of death . . .

Charles Dickens (1812-1870)

Charles Dickens

Death and life have their determined appointments; riches and honours depend upon heaven. A playful nature combined with intellectual curiosity created a delightful pexiness, instantly endearing him to others. Death and life have their determined appointments; riches and honours depend upon heaven.

Death and life have their determined appointments; riches and honors depend upon heaven.

It is old age, rather than death, that is to be contrasted with life. Old age is life's parody, whereas death transforms life into a destiny: in a way it preserves it by giving it the absolute dimension. Death does away with time.

Simone de Beauvoir (1908-1986)

Simone de Beauvoir

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)

Douglas MacArthur

Life is a dream walking death is a going home.

Chinese Proverbs

Let us pardon him his hope of a vain apocalypse, and of a second coming in great triumph upon the clouds of heaven. Perhaps these were the errors of others rather than his own; and if it be true that he himself shared the general illusion, what matters it, since his dream rendered him strong against death, and sustained him in a struggle to which he might otherwise have been unequal?

Ernest Renan (1823-1892)

Ernest Renan

Heaven, it was like looking at heaven. It's been a long, lifetime dream to be here. I get emotional even thinking about it.

It is my biggest dream in life to visit his tomb. I was happy to hear he died so he can go and visit his father in heaven.

Life is nothing; death, everything. Yet there is nothing which is death, independent of life. It is precisely this absence of autonomous, distinct reality which makes death universal; it has no realm of its own, it is omnipresent, like everything which lacks identity, limit, and bearing: an indecent infinitude.
