Dying

Famous quotes containing the word dying:

    Just remember, Mr. Potter, that this rabble you’re talking about, they do most of the working and paying and living and dying in this community.
    Frances Goodrich (1891–1984)

    The night has a thousand eyes,
    And the day but one;
    Yet the light of the bright world dies
    With the dying sun.
    Francis William Bourdillon (1852–1921)

    For them it’s out-of-date and outmoded to perform miracles; teaching the people is too like hard work, interpreting the holy scriptures is for schoolmen and praying is a waste of time; to shed tears is weak and womanish, to be needy is degrading; to suffer defeat is a disgrace and hardly fitting for one who scarcely permits the greatest of kings to kiss the toes of his sacred feet; and finally, death is an unattractive prospect, and dying on a cross would be an ignominious end.
    Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
