Comforting Thoughts on Death
Nothing
can happen more beautiful than death.
-
Walt Whitman

The
only religious way to think of death
is as a part and parcel of life;
to regard it, with the understanding
and emotions,
as the inviolable condition of life.
- Thomas Mann
The grave itself is but a covered bridge
leading from light to light,
through a brief darkness.
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
|
There is
a history in all men's lives.
-
William Shakespeare, King Henry IV
|
When
Death strikes down the innocent and young, for every fragile form from which he
lets the panting spirit free, a hundred virtues rise, in shapes of mercy, charity,
and love, to walk the world, and bless it.
- Charles Dickens |

Thou
know'st 'tis common; all that live must die,
passing through nature to eternity.
-
William
Shakespeare,
Hamlet
So when a
great man dies,
For years
beyond our ken,
The light
he leaves behind him lies,
Upon the paths
of men.
-
Henry
Wadsworth Longfellow
