Death is the great hope of all life the desire to expend itself to be used and consumed by its own longing for itself.

The call of death is a call of love. Death can be sweet if we answer it in the affirmative if we accept it as one of the great eternal forms of life and transformation.

Life is a great sunrise. I do not see why death should not be an even greater one.

The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated.

Like all of us in this storm between birth and death I can wreak no great changes on the world only small changes for the better I hope in the lives of those I love.

Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide.

To the well-organized mind death is but the next great adventure.

Death is really a great blessing for humanity without it there could be no real progress. People who lived for ever would not only hamper and discourage the young but they would themselves lack sufficient stimulus to be creative.

Death is the only pure beautiful conclusion of a great passion.

That is the great mistake about the affections. It is not the rise and fall of empires the birth and death of kings or the marching of armies that move them most. When they answer from their depths it is to the domestic joys and tragedies of life.
