“If you don't know how to die, don't worry; Nature will tell you what to do on the spot, fully and adequately. She will do this job perfectly for you; don't bother your head about it.”
Michel de Montaigne
“Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live.”
Norman Cousins
“I am convinced that it is not the fear of death, of our lives ending that haunts our sleep so much as the fear... that as far as the world is concerned, we might as well never have lived.”
Harold Kushner
“Human nature is so well disposed towards those who are in interesting situations, that a young person, who either marries or dies, is sure of being kindly spoken of.”
Jane Austen
“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.”
Mahatma Gandhi
“As a well spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well spent brings happy death.”
Leonardo da Vinci
“According to most studies, people's number one fear is public speaking. Number two is death. Death is number two. Does that sound right? This means to the average person, if you go to a funeral, you're better off in the casket than doing the eulogy.”
Jerry Seinfeld
