If you carefully consider what you want to be said of you in the funeral experience, you will find your definition of success.
Stephen Covey
The more sand that has escaped from the hourglass of our life, the clearer we should see through it.
Jean Paul Richter
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
A useless life is an early death.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The darkness of death is like the evening twilight; it makes all objects appear more lovely to the dying.
In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.
Abraham Lincoln
Human life is as evanescent as the morning dew or a flash of lightning.
Samuel Butler
Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything - all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.
Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.
Mahatma Gandhi
Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive.
Elbert Hubbard
Death hath a thousand doors to let out life: I shall find one.
Philip Massinger
Absence and death are the same - only that in death there is no suffering.
Theodore Roosevelt
As men are not able to fight against death, misery, ignorance, they have taken it into their heads, in order to be happy, not to think of them at all.
Blaise Pascal
Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint.
Mark Twain
