Its better to burn out than fade away.
Death, so called, is a thing which makes men weep, And yet a third of life is pass'd in sleep.
It is the cause, not the death, that makes the martyr.
You can only be afraid of what you think you know.
If you die you're completely happy and your soul somewhere lives on. Im not afraid of dying. Total peace after death, becoming someone else is the best hope I've got.
In Heaven, all the interesting people are missing.
A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic.
Could any death be so horrible as birth? Or any decrepitude so awful as childhood in a happy united God-fearing family?
I believe that every single event in life happens in an opportunity to choose love over fear.
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.
It is better to be feared than loved, if you cannot be both.
A coward dies a thousand deaths... a soldier dies but once.
Many people would sooner die than think; In fact, they do so.
Tell your friend that in his death, a part of you dies and goes with him. Wherever he goes, you also go. He will not be alone.
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.
A man who is not afraid is not aggressive, a man who has no sense of fear of any kind is really a free, a peaceful man.
No one really knows why they are alive until they know what they'd die for.
I could die for you. But I couldn't, and wouldn't, live for you.
On the plus side, death is one of the few things that can be done just as easily lying down.
No power is strong enough to be lasting if it labors under the weight of fear.
It's stasis that kills you off in the end, not ambition.
