George Eliot Quotes

Our deaths become a part of our lives in the sense that with our deaths we give something to those who are left behind, as we have given our lives to them.

I hope it is true that a man can die and yet not only live in others but give them life, and not only life, but that great consciousness of life.

Dead people don't really die. They live on within you.

… the whole earth is the sepulcher of famous men; and their story is not graven only on stone over their native earth, but lives on far away, without visible symbol, woven into the stuff of other men's lives.

Those who live in memories are never really dead." The House At Riverton

What we leave behind in this life is the memory of who we were and what we did. An imprint, no more.

If what that man did in his life, makes the blood pulse through the body of others, and makes them believe deeper in something larger than life, then his essence, his spirit, will be immortalized by the storytellers, by the loyalty, by the memory, of those who honor him and make whatever the man did live forever.

The dead can survive as part of the lives of those that still live.

It isn't about being or not being dead, it's about what you leave behind

In my twisted brain, I truly believe that nobody ever really dies, as long as the people that he or she touched continue to spread their legacy. I miss Eddie Guerrero. Eddie Guerrero was a great man. So right now, I don't want to hear 'CM Punk', you know the name I wanna hear.

There are some dead who are more alive than the living.

When I die, I'd like' Friends' to be listed behind 'helping people.'

It's not whether you win or lose, it's how many people remember you when you die.

Sometimes a person has to be dead a while before people can appreciate what they did when they were alive.

Now more than ever, I have learned that, when people die, they truly do live throughout those who love them.

The good thing that may yet happen during dying is not the possibility of survival when we're beyond that point. The good thing that may yet happen is that our lives will have great meaning for those we leave behind.

Great lives never go out; they go on.

What life half gives a man, posterity gives entirely.

You die, but most of what you have accumulated will not be lost; you are leaving a message in a bottle.

It's not what you take when you leave this world behind you. It's what you leave behind you when you go.

The dead govern the living.

Memories of our lives, of our works and our deeds will continue in others.

The greatest gift in life is to be remembered.

I believe that you live on inside the hearts and minds of everyone you've touched while you were here on earth.
