You cannot find in the New Testament any of those hateful representations of dying which men have invented, by which death is portrayed as a ghastly skeleton with a scythe, or something equally revolting. The figures by which death is represented in the New Testament are very different. There are two of them which I think to be exquisitely beautiful. One is that of falling asleep in Jesus. When a little child has played all day long, and becomes tired out, and the twilight has sent it in weariness to its mother's knee, where it thinks it has come for more excitement, then, almost in the midst of its frolicking, and not knowing what influence is creeping over it, it falls back in the mother's arms, and nestles close to the sweetest and softest couch that ever cheek pressed, and, with lengthening breath, sleeps; and she smiles and is glad, and sits humming unheard joy over its head. So we fall asleep in Jesus. We have played long enough at the games of life, and at last we feel the approach of death. We are tired out, and we lay our head back on the bosom of Christ and quietly fall asleep.
- H.W. Beecher


A single death is a tragedy;
a million deaths is a statistic.
- Joseph Stalin


Death ends a life, not a relationship.
- Jack Lemmon


Life is pleasant.
Death is peaceful.
It's the transition
that is troublesome.
- Jimmy Hendrix

Death may be the greatest
of all human blessings.
- Socrates

Because I could not stop for Death,
he kindly stopped for me.
The Carriage held but just ourselves
and Immortality.
- Emily Dickinson

The grave is but a covered bridge Leading from
light to light, through a brief darkness!
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Death, so called, is a thing which makes men weep,
And yet a third of life is passed in sleep.
- Lord Byron

When the body sinks into death, the essence of man
is revealed. Man is a knot, a web, a mesh into
which relationships are tied. Only those
relationships matter. The body is an old crock
that nobody will miss. I have never known a man
to think of himself when dying. Never.
- Antoine de Saint-Exupery

The bitterest tears shed over graves are for
words left unsaid and deeds left undone.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
