Living and dying and the whole circle of life, it can be intimidating and terrifying. In its entirety, we can maybe find a silver lining in the fact that we only die once, but the opportunities to live? They are almost unlimited if we put our heart into it. Life has its share of ups and downs, and most of our energy is exerted to dealing with challenges.
However, we can always open a window to let the sun in, bask in its warmth of life. Having a grateful heart will change the quality of our existence even without having as much as possessions as we would like to have. Death may be final but it’s ungracious and fearful living that really ends a life.
Here are 30 death quotes inspiring you to cherish everything that constitutes your being.
