Death and love are the two wings that bear the good man to heaven.

It's not that I'm afraid to die, I just don't want to be there when it happens.

Absolute silence leads to sadness. It is the image of death.

Don't give in to your fears. If you do, you won't be able to talk to your heart.

If we have been pleased with life, we should not be displeased with death, since it comes from the hand of the same master.

Every man's life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another.

In Heaven, all the interesting people are missing.

On the plus side, death is one of the few things that can be done just as easily lying down.

Fear is pain arising from the anticipation of evil.

No one really knows why they are alive until they know what they'd die for.

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.

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.

There is nothing to fear but fear itself.

Character building begins in our infancy, and continues until death.

Death may be the greatest of all human blessings.

A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic.

Death makes angels of us all and gives us wings where we had shoulders smooth as ravens claws.

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.

Courage is not the absence of fear it is inspiring others to move beyond it.

We should never negotiate out of fear, but we should never fear to negotiate.

No power is strong enough to be lasting if it labors under the weight of fear.
