I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees.

Absolute silence leads to sadness. It is the image of death.

JeanJacques Rousseau

Because life is fragile and death inevitable, we must make the most of each day.

Thomas S. Monson

Now, of all the benefits that virtue confers upon us, the contempt of death is one of the greatest, as the means that accommodates human life with a soft and easy tranquility, and gives us a pure and pleasant taste of living, without which all other pleasure would be extinct.

Michel de Montaigne

I love the name of honor, more than I fear death.

To be fully alive, fully human, and completely awake is to be continually thrown out of the nest. To live fully is to be always in no-man's-land, to experience each moment as completely new and fresh. To live is to be willing to die over and over again.
