Die Quotations
Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint.
Mark Twain
No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new.
Steve Jobs
I'm sorry, it's true. Having children really changes your view on these things. We're born, we live for a brief instant, and we die. It's been happening for a long time. Technology is not changing it much - if at all.
Steve Jobs
We don't get a chance to do that many things, and every one should be really excellent. Because this is our life. Life is brief, and then you die, you know? So this is what we've chosen to do with our life.
Steve Jobs
Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
Steve Jobs
Let us live so that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry.
Mark Twain
The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.
Mark Twain
Thousands of geniuses live and die undiscovered - either by themselves or by others.
Mark Twain
A man who won't die for something is not fit to live.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
With the fearful strain that is on me night and day, if I did not laugh I should die.
Abraham Lincoln
