Life is not separate from death. It only looks that way.

Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

—Mahatma Gandhi
Life's tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late.

—Benjamin Franklin
Let us endeavor to live so that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry.

—Mark Twain
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, to discover that I had not lived.

—Henry David Thoreau

Human life is closely related with the four seasons. It begins in the spring and it ends in the winter. The summer is the best, and the fall is a time to remember when the weather was warmer

—Gustavo Vargas
Many that live deserve death. And some die that deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then be not too eager to deal out death in the name of justice, fearing for your own safety. Even the wise cannot see all ends.

—Gandalf
Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind....Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth...I long to alleviate this evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer. This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.

—Bertrand Russell

Every man dies. Not every man truly lives.

Stop acting as if life is a rehearsal. Live this day as if it were your last. The past is over and gone. The future is not guaranteed.

—Wayne Dyer
Because I have loved life, I shall have no sorrow to die.

—Amelia Burr
Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream!
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
and things are not what they seem.
Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art; to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul.

—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Life moves on, whether we act as cowards or heroes. Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such.

—Henry Miller
So you were born, that was a good day. Someday you'll die, that is a shame. But somewhere in the between, there's a life of which we all dream, and nothing or no one can ever take that away.

—Streetlight Manifesto
Death is nothing, but to live defeated and inglorious is to die daily.

—Napoleon Bonaparte
I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.

—Mark Twain

Our sun is one of 100 billion stars in our galaxy. Our galaxy is one of billions of galaxies populating the universe. It would be the height of presumption to think that we are the only living things in that enormous immensity.
