These passions of soul, these conflicts so fierce, will cease, and be repressed by the casting of a little dust.

Two months ago my mother died. She made, as the expression goes, a good death.

The tall, the wise, the reverend head, Must lie as low as ours.

Take care of your life and the Lord will take care of your death.

God gives quietness at last.

Death is the quiet haven of us all.

Death is a black camel, which kneels at the gates of all.

If you're afraid to die, you will not be able to live.

Death for an epicure is the springtime of calm and peace; For years his soul smolders like incense burning everywhere While his tomb lies and endures under the cool cypresses-Each dawn a rose blooms and each night a nightingale sings there.

It is good to have a reminder of death before us, for it helps us to understand the impermanence of life on this earth, and this understanding may aid us in preparing for our own death. He who is well prepared is he who knows that he is nothing compared with Wakan-Tanka, who is everything; then he knows that world which is real.
