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

It is death, and not what comes after death, that men are generally afraid of.

To live in the hearts we leave behind Is not to die.

The character wherewith we sink into the grave at death is the very character wherewith we shall reappear at the resurrection.

Isn't death the boundary we need?

The dead have a presence.

Because I could not stop for Death He kindly stopped for me- The Carriage held but just Ourselves- And Immortality.

I was afraid of the pain of dying and terribly reluctant to leave the world behind because I liked life a lot, even if it had been pretty tough sometimes.

All mankind is of one Author, and in one volume; when one Man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language; and every Chapter must be so translated.

Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.
