Nathaniel Hawthorne

We sometimes congratulate ourselves at the moment of waking from a troubled dream - it may be so the moment after death.

Death is not the greatest loss in life... The tragedy of life is in what dies inside a man while he lives - the death of genuine feeling, the death of inspired response, the death of the awareness that makes it possible to feel the pain or the glory of other men in yourself.

Norman Vincent Peale

You should never entertain or express an idea unless you wish it to take form in your life... Thoughts and words can speak life or death to your future. Remember, lack thoughts and lack words tend to produce lack as fact.

Paramahansa Yogananda, born Mukunda Lal Ghosh

Death is not the end: it is temporary emancipation... the land to which souls go at death - they enjoy a freedom such as they never knew during their earthly life. So don’t pity the person who is passing through the delusion of death, for in a little while he will be free. Once he gets out of that delusion, he sees that death was not so bad after all. He realizes that his mortality was only a dream and rejoices that now no fire can burn him, no water can drown him; he is free and safe.

Paramahansa Yogananda, born Mukunda Lal Ghosh

At death, you forget all the limitations of the physical body, and realize how free you are... You exist apart from the mortal body... There is nothing to fear. When death comes, laugh at it. Death is only an experience through which you are meant to learn a great lesson: you cannot die. Our real self, the soul, is immortal. We may sleep for a little while in that change called death, but we can never be destroyed. We exist, and that existence is eternal... Nothing can terminate the eternal consciousness.

Plato NULL

Either death is a state of nothingness and utter unconsciousness, or, as men say, there is a change and migration of the soul from this world to another. Now if death be of such a nature, I say that to die is to gain; for eternity is then only a single night.

The fear of death is indeed the pretense of wisdom, and not real wisdom, being a pretense of knowing the unknown; and no one knows whether death, which men in their fear apprehend to be the greatest evil, may not be the greatest good.

‘Tis the only discipline we are born for; all studies else are but as circular lines, and death the center where they all must meet.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

With living creatures, death is the regular, indispensable condition of the replacement of one individual by another along a phyletic mechanism and upsurge of life.

For the fear of death is indeed the pretense of wisdom, and not real wisdom, being a pretended knowledge of the unknown; and no one knows whether death, which men in their fear apprehend to be the greatest evil, may not be the greatest good. Is there not here conceit of knowledge, which is a disgraceful sort of ignorance?
