Death Page 1IPage 2
To live is to go on a journey; to die is to come back home.
-Unknown
The tragedy of life is what dies inside a man while he lives.
-Albert Schweitzer
There is another type of separation known in scripture as spiritual death. It is defined as a state of spiritual alienation from God. Thus, one can be very much alive physically but dead spiritually…If physical death should strike before moral wrongs have been made right, opportunity for repentance will have been forfeited. Thus, “the [real] sting of death is sin.” Even the Savior cannot save us in our sins. He will redeem us from our sins, but only upon condition of our repentance. We are responsible for our own spiritual survival or death. (Ensign, May 1992)
-Russell M. Nelson
After I'm dead, I'd rather have people ask why I have no monument than why I have one.
-Cato the Elde
Death is a graduation day - and a time of assessment to see what we have become.
-Sterling W. Sill
The sublimity of wisdom is to do those things living that are desired when dying.
-Unknown
We can imagine some wonderful things, but we cannot even conceive of that magnificent experience that lies beyond the borders of this life. Certainly the greatest wonders of the future will not be in the improvement of our television, [our computers,] or our airplanes; they will be primarily in ourselves. The greater the understanding of our own future, the more effectively we will be able to prepare for it.
-Sterling W. Sill
The only way to take sorrow out of death is to take love out of life.
-Unknown
It's impossible that anything so natural, so necessary, and so universal as death should ever have been designed as an evil to mankind.
-Jonathan Swift
Death is a mere comma, not an exclamation point!
-Neal A. Maxwell
