“Come lovely and soothing death,
Undulate round the world, serenely arriving, arriving,
In the day, in the night, to all, to each,
Sooner or later, delicate death.”

“Death comes to us all sooner or later. We cannot escape it.”

“You are offered a chance to live and enjoy yourself in this world, but sooner or later, death will come knocking on your door.”

“The death rate is the same for us as for anybody … one person, one death, sooner or later.”

“We all arrive on Earth with a round-trip ticket.”

“The future is arriving sooner than we imagine.”

“Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive.”

“When the day of misfortune comes and (comes it must sooner or later to all )we may be prepared with Christian fortitude to endure the shock.”

“In the place, then, of death's ending us, — death, but one item in the being of the natural world, the whole of which is conditioned upon our central self-consciousness,—we arrive at the settled and logically immovable conception that we are ourselves the changeless ground of that transition in experience into which death thus gets interpreted.”

“But if you're a man who eats the crops of the earth,
a mortal born for death—here, come closer,
the sooner you will meet your day to die!”
