I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.
Voltaire

It is vain for the coward to flee; death follows close behind; it is only by defying it that the brave escape.
Voltaire

The safest course is to do nothing against one's conscience. With this secret, we can enjoy life and have no fear from death.
Voltaire

Personally, I would be delighted if there were a life after death, especially if it permitted me to continue to learn about this world and others, if it gave me a chance to discover how history turns out.
Carl Sagan

I mean, whatever kills you kills you, and your death is authentic no matter how you die.

Jerry Garcia

There's no tragedy in life like the death of a child. Things never get back to the way they were.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

The message that President Obama delivered in his speech at Notre Dame was: morality is immoral. Pro-life is the extremist position, not a moral position. Yet we should compromise and work to reduce abortions. Where's the compromise between life and death - and why work to reduce the number of them occurring if there's nothing wrong with them?
Rush Limbaugh

If a man can bridge the gap between life and death, if he can live on after he's dead, then maybe he was a great man.

Humanity should question itself, once more, about the absurd and always unfair phenomenon of war, on whose stage of death and pain only remain standing the negotiating table that could and should have prevented it.

There will one day spring from the brain of science a machine or force so fearful in its potentialities, so absolutely terrifying, that even man, the fighter, who will dare torture and death in order to inflict torture and death, will be appalled, and so abandon war forever.
Thomas A. Edison

It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.

Death is a release from the impressions of the senses, and from desires that make us their puppets, and from the vagaries of the mind, and from the hard service of the flesh.
Marcus Aurelius

Despise not death, but welcome it, for nature wills it like all else.
Marcus Aurelius

I had seen birth and death but had thought they were different.
T. S. Eliot

Death may be the King of terrors... but Jesus is the King of kings!

Give me liberty or give me death.
