life and death

George Bernard Shaw
Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got a hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it onto future generations.
George Eliot
What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult for each other?
Ghassan Kanafani
The question of death does not belong to the dead, but to those who remain alive.
Harvey Pekar
Ordinary life is pretty complex stuff.
Henry Van Dyke
Some people are so afraid to die that they never begin to live.
Isaac Asimov
Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome.
J.K. Rowling
It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.
Jason Mechalek
Blood is the ink of our life's story.
Jim Davis
Life is like a Ferrari, it goes too fast. But that's ok, because you can't afford it anyway.
John Donne
Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.
John Lennon
Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.
Joseph Stalin
A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic.
Keanu Reeves
Nothing ever truly dies. The universe wastes nothing, everything is simply transformed.
Lao-Tzu
Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.
Leonardo Da Vinci
As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death.
Mahatma Gandhi
Birth and death are not two different states, but they are different aspects of the same state. There is as little reason to deplore the one as there is to be pleased over the other.
There is more to life than increasing its speed.
Marcus Aurelius
It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.
Martin Luther King Jr.
There is nothing more tragic than to find an individual bogged down in the length of life, devoid of breadth.
If a man hasn't discovered something that he will die for, he isn't fit to live.
