on death

I am ready to meet my maker, but whether my maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter.
--Winston Churchill

All say, "How hard it is that we have to die"--a strange complaint to come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
--Mark Twain

Nothing in his life became him like the leaving it.
--William Shakespeare

--Socrates
