Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “if thou slip thy troth and do not come at all.
    As minutes in the clock do strike so call for death I shall:
    To please both thy false heart, and rid myself from woe,
    That rather had to die in troth than live forsaken so.”
    —Unknown. The Lady Prayeth the Return of Her Lover Abiding on the Seas (l. 19–22)

    “It is not death therefore that is burdensome, but the fear of death.”
    —Ambrose (c. 333–397)
