Jack LaLanne Quotes

Remembering the facts of death and Heaven gives us an even more pressing reason to learn to pray: We do not have an infinite amount of time. We are one day nearer Home today than we ever were before.

Full surely there is a blessedness beyond the grave for those who have already entered on it here, and in no other form than that wherein they know it here, at any moment.

Death is not an event in life: we do not live to experience death. If we take eternity to mean not infinite temporal duration but timelessness, then eternal life belongs to those who live in the present.

If you live a good life, that seems to be what really matters. If there is something afterwards, terrific. If not, you haven't lost anything.

We get 80 years, maybe at the most 100. Trillions of years in eternity. This life is preparation for the next. This is the warm-up back, this is the dress rehearsal, this is the get ready, this is the first lap around the track before the real race begins because it is in eternity.

To emphasize the afterlife is to deny life. To concentrate on heaven is to create hell.

Do you always believe in the life to come? Mine was always that.

Leap through the Mystery of death as the circus-rider leaps through the papered hoop ... find Life ambling along beneath us on the Other Side.

Death is the Graduation of the Soul

Death, the most dreaded of evils, is therefore of no concern to us; for while we exist death is not present, and when death is present we no longer exist.

I have heard that death takes us away from ill things, not from good. I have heard that when we pronounce the name of man we pronounce the belief of immortality.

As for a future life, every man must judge for himself between conflicting vague probabilities.

We die, and we do not die.

In the midst of death we are in life. Life is the only reality; what men call death is but a shadow.

I think people believe in heaven because they don't like the idea of dying, because they want to carry on living and they don't like the idea that other people will move into their house and put their things into the rubbish.

[Tho]ugh death be a dark passage; it leads to immortality, and that is recompense enough for suffering of it.

We make provisions for this life as if it were never to have an end, and for the other life as though it were never to have a beginning.

Death is not an event in life: we do not live to experience death.

Every living thing, animal or human, or tree experiences that which is called death, with no exception. You've all accepted that one a long time ago. Spirit, which is who we really are, or Source, is eternal. So what death must be is a changing of the perspective of that Eternal Spirit. If I am standing in my physical body and am consciously connected to that Eternal Spirit, then I'm Eternal in nature and I need not ever again fear any endedness, because, from that perspective I understand that there is not any of that.
