and deeds left undone.

-Richard Bach

Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

-William Shakespeare / Macbeth, 1606

Lord, now lettest now thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word.

For death begins with life's first breath
And life begins at touch of death

---John Oxenham

As men, we are all equal in the presence of death

Publilius Syrus

Death-the last voyage, the longest and the best

Thomas Wolfe

Because I could not stop for death
He kindly stopped for me
The carriage held but just ourselves
And immortaility

Emily Dickinson

Nothing you can lose by dying is half as precious as the
readiness to die,which is man's charter of nobility.

---George Santayana
