“Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.”

All tremble at violence; all fear death. Putting oneself in the place of another, one should not kill nor cause another to kill.

Some do not understand that we must die, but those who do realize this settle their quarrels.

To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life; foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent.

Ardently do today what must be done. Who knows? Tomorrow, death comes.

Even death is not to be feared by one who has lived wisely.

Greed makes man blind and foolish, and makes him an easy prey for death.

This place is a dream. Only a sleeper considers it real. Then death comes like dawn, and you wake up laughing at what you thought was your grief.

I learned that every mortal will taste death. But only some will taste life.

Love is the water of life. Everything other than love for the most beautiful God is agony of the spirit, though it be sugar-eating. What is agony of the spirit? To advance toward death without seizing hold of the water of life.

Ignore those that make you fearful and sad, that degrade you back towards disease and death.

Death has nothing to do with going away. The sun sets. The moon sets. But they are not gone.

I submit to you that if a man hasn’t discovered something that he will die for, he isn’t fit to live.

A man who won’t die for something is not fit to live.

If physical death is the price that I must pay to free my white brothers and sisters from a permanent death of the spirit, then nothing can be more redemptive.

The educated differ from the uneducated as much as the living from the dead.

Life is as dear to a mute creature as it is to man. Just as one wants happiness and fears pain, just as one wants to live and not die, so do other creatures.

Get busy living or get busy dying.....there ain't nothing inbetween

The world's a hard place, Danny. It don't care. It don't hate you and me, but it don't love us, either. Terrible things happen in the world, and they're things no one can explain. Good people die in bad, painful ways and leave the folks that love them all alone. Sometimes it seems like it's only the bad people who stay healthy and prosper. The world don't love you, but your momma does and so do I

It always comes down to just two choices. Get busy living, or get busy dying.

Get busy living or get busy dying

He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed. 

Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one’s head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.

Death is a reality… Life ends definitely when the subject, by his actions, no longer affects his environment… He can no longer add an iota to the sum total of his experience
