Death Quotes Quotes

“The elements of trial and error, similar to earth and sky, and fire and water, delineates the constituent modules of our lives. Living robustly includes more failures than successes. We achieve adeptness to living by exhibiting a willingness to make good faith mistakes and learn from each misadventure. Every effort that fails to achieve our expected result is understandably frustrating. The fact is that without ideas and dreams and devoid of occasional crash landings, a person can never hope to achieve any worthy acts to temper resounding personal disappointment. Meaningful success is ultimately defined when a person dies, when an entire life’s work devoted to performing passionate and compassionate enterprises can be judge as a whole unit.”

“I’ve often traveled alone on the path of life’s journey. But always knew the bindings that bond people and families together were never further than a stone’s throw. Lightning struck and life vanished in a flash. And the beacon of hope and comfort has been extinguished forever. – Until another rises. RJ Intindola – (Gandolfo) – 2021”

“Let no one ever intimidate you, you are standing on no one's ground. But again, some have claimed the earth as their own and usurped power from the rest of us. But they are usurpers; power belongs to every one of us. Seek it as much as possible. There is no shame in that. In fact it's a necessity. Either you have power or you are trampled to death in the stampede to get to the top”

“When we occasionally pause to meditate deeply on death and on being dead, the next time we are driving our red convertible BMW down Interstate 5 with the top down, the wind blowing in our hair, the sun slow-burning melanoma into our skin, and the stereo playing loud while we shout at the sky, “When you’re a Jet you’re a Jet all the way, from your first cigarette to your last dying day!”—our joy in being alive will be, will go, even deeper.”

“At the end of life, nobody knows where the spirit goes.”

“Time crawls when you are bored, walks when you are occupied, runs when you are busy, but flies when you are having fun. Death creeps when you are bored, skulks when you are occupied, slithers when you are busy, but strikes when you are having fun. Life tarries when you are bored, hastens when you are occupied, scurries when you are busy, but disappears when you are having fun.”

“When you die, no matter who you are, you may be remembered for your courage or despised for your cowardice, you may be remembered for your gratitude or despised for your bitterness, you may be remembered for your benevolence or despised for your meanness, you may be remembered for your modesty or despised for your arrogance, you may be remembered for your peace or despised for your violence, you may be remembered for your compassion or despised for your ruthlessness, you may be remembered for your mercy or despised for your vengeance, you may be remembered for your love or despised for your unkindness, you may be remembered for your strengths or despised for your weaknesses, you may be remembered for your virtues or despised for your unrighteousness, you may be remembered for your knowledge or despised for your ignorance, you may be remembered for your wisdom or despised for your foolishness, and you may be remembered for your accomplishments or despised for your incompetence. When I die, I want to be remembered for my smile, not my tears; for my laughter, not my pain; for my joy, not my grief; for my patience, not my anger; for my friends, not my enemies; for my mind, not my riches; for my heart, not my titles; for my soul, not my achievements; for my triumphs, not my tragedies; for my character, not my reputation; for my dignity, not my impudence; for my sincerity, not my flattery; for my honor, not my fame; for my integrity, not my friends; and for my life, not my death.”

“Primitive humans could not comprehend the vastness of infinity and eternity, so as a trick of self-preservation they came up with the perception of survival of the soul after death and its recurring incarnations.”

“Do we reflect on life? Someday this life will be gone.”

“Life is a struggle. Life will throw daggers at you, and it will try to break you down at times. Sometimes when you think things are starting to look up, life will hit you back with ruthless indifference.”
