I'm the one that has to die when it's time for me to die, so let me live my life, the way I want to.
Death may be the greatest of all human blessings.
You can only be afraid of what you think you know.
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
If we have been pleased with life, we should not be displeased with death, since it comes from the hand of the same master.
A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic.
Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.
He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past.
Could any death be so horrible as birth? Or any decrepitude so awful as childhood in a happy united God-fearing family?
Life and death are one thread, the same line viewed from different sides.
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
For a man who has done his natural duty, death is as natural as sleep.
There is no hope unmingled with fear, and no fear unmingled with hope.
It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.
People living deeply have no fear of death.
An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.
No power is strong enough to be lasting if it labors under the weight of fear.
A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it.
When desire dies, fear is born.
Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second's encounter with God and with eternity.
If a man hasn't discovered something he will die for, he isn't fit to live.
