Think of yourself as dead, you have lived your life. Now take what’s left and live it properly.Marcus Aurelius
Our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal.John F. Kennedy
We all die. The goal isn't to live forever, the goal is to create something that will.Chuck Palahniuk
It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die. That is true, it's called Life.Terry Pratchett
There will come a time when all of us are dead. All of us. There will come a time when there are no human beings remaining to remember that anyone ever existed or that our species ever did anything. There will be no one left to remember Aristotle or Cleopatra, let alone you. Everything that we did and built and wrote and thought and discovered will be forgotten and all of this will have been for naught. Maybe that time is coming soon and maybe it is millions of years away, but even if we survive the collapse of our sun, we will not survive forever. There was time before organisms experienced consciousness, and there will be time after. And if the inevitability of human oblivion worries you, I encourage you to ignore it. God knows that’s what everyone else does.John Green
I'm the one that's got to die when it's time for me to die, so let me live my life the way I want to.Jimi Hendrix
I don't believe in happy endings, but I do believe in happy travels, because ultimately, you die at a very young age, or you live long enough to watch your friends die. It's a mean thing, life.George Clooney
Those men who, in war, seek to preserve their lives at any rate commonly die with shame and ignominy, while those who look upon death as common to all, and unavoidable, and are only solicitous to die with honour, oftener arrive at old age and, while they live, live happier.Xenophon
There are only three things that can kill a farmer: lightning, rolling over in a tractor, and old age.Bill Bryson
Age doesn't bother me. So many of my heroes were older guys. It's the lack of years left that weighs far heavier on me than the age that I am.David Bowie
We were never supposed to live until 40. We were built to self-destruct at 30, whether from cancer or mental illness. We're all going way beyond our expiration date.Douglas Coupland
We should so provide for old age that it may have no urgent wants of this world to absorb it from meditation on the next. It is awful to see the lean hands of dotage making a coffer of the grave.Pearl S. Buck
Advice in old age is foolish; for what can be more absurd than to increase our provisions for the road the nearer we approach to our journey's end.Marcus Tullius Cicero
Those who love deeply never grow old; they may die of old age, but they die young.Dorothy Canfield Fisher
The closing years of life are like the end of a masquerade party, when the masks are dropped.Cesare Pavese
All my life's about is cracking up people and them cracking me up and trying not to think about dying. That doesn't cost very much money.Norm MacDonald
Boxing is the only sport you can get your brain shook, your money took and your name in the undertaker book.Joe Frazier
If our soldiers are not overburdened with money, it is not because they have a distaste for riches; if their lives are not unduly long, it is not because they are disinclined to longevity.Sun Tzu
Alas, how quickly the gratitude owed to the dead flows off, how quick to be proved a deceiver.Sophocles
