George Santayana Quotes

She died praying that she might die.

The good news is that even though we walk through this valley of death, we don't have to fear, at least not for ourselves! Unfortunately, there is no way to skip over the valley altogether, we must face death and the evidence of evil all around us. But there will come a day... And what a day that will be!

One only dies once, and if one does not die well, a good opportunity is lost and will not present itself again.

Death is not evil, for it frees man from all ills and takes away his desires along with desire's rewards.

There is no harm in patience, and no profit in lamentation. Death is easier to bear (than) that which precedes it, and more severe than that which comes after it. Remember the death of the Apostle of God, and your sorrow will be lessened.

You're born. You suffer. You die. Fortunately, there's a loophole.

Death is the last enemy: once we've got past that I think everything will be alright.

However dark and profitless, however painful and weary, existence may have become, life is not done, and our Christian character is not won, so long as God has anything left for us to suffer, or anything left for us to do.

If you die, you're not a failure.

In our sad condition our only consolation is the expectancy of another life. Here below all is incomprehensible.

Ah, if he could only die temporarily!

I have suffered too much in this world not to hope for another.

To the last moment of his breath, On hope the wretch relies; And even the pang preceding death Bids expectation rise.

My troubles are many They're deep as a well I swear there ain't no Heaven And I pray there ain't no hell But I'll never know by living only my dying will tell. And when I die and when I'm gone There'll be, one child born And a world to carry on, to carry on.

I have good hope that there is something after death.

I don't know... there's something kind of beautiful about it, don't you think? That we keep living and growing even though our world is a corpse? That we keep coming back no matter how many of us die?

Death is the greatest evil, because it cuts off hope.

I will say with Lorenzo de Medici that those who do not hope for another life are always dead to this one.

Life is like a concentration camp... you can't leave without dying.

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.

When you die, that does not mean that you lose to cancer.

I know that I shall die struggling for breath, and I know that I shall be horribly afraid. I know that I shall not be able to keep myself from regretting bitterly the life that has brought me to such a pass; but I disown that regret. I now, weak, old, diseased, poor, dying, hold still my soul in my hands, and I regret nothing.

If I'm okay with dying, my son is at least as enlightened as that. If I'm okay with my cancer, my son is at least as enlightened as I am.

Let your hope of heaven master your fear of death.
