If life must not be taken too seriously, then so neither must death.

Whether for life or death, do your own work well.

My fear was not of death itself, but a death without meaning.

Wild animals never kill for sport. Man is the only one to whom the torture and death of his fellow creatures is amusing in itself.

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?

True love makes the thought of death frequent, easy, without terrors it merely becomes the standard of comparison, the price one would pay for many things.

There is nothing which at once affects a man so much and so little as his own death.

A man must be willing to die for justice. Death is an inescapable reality and men die daily, but good deeds live forever.

I do not believe that any man fears to be dead, but only the stroke of death.

Once you accept your own death, all of a sudden you're free to live. You no longer care about your reputation. You no longer care except so far as your life can be used tactically to promote a cause you believe in.
