It is not death, it is dying that alarms me.

Those who have never had a father can at any rate never know the sweets of losing one. To most men the death of his father is a new lease of life.

Death is only a larger kind of going abroad.

The history of the world is the record of the weakness, frailty and death of public opinion.

Let us eat and drink neither forgetting death unduly nor remembering it. The Lord hath mercy on whom he will have mercy, etc., and the less we think about it the better.
