I’m not afraid to die. I just don’t want to be there when it happens.

No member of this Church must ever forget the terrible price paid by our Redeemer, who gave His life that all men might live—the agony of Gethsemane, the bitter mockery of His trial, the vicious crown of thorns tearing at His flesh, the blood cry of the mob before Pilate, the lonely burden of His heavy walk along the way to Calvary, the terrifying pain as great nails pierced His hands and feet....

We cannot forget that. We must never forget it, for here our Savior, our Redeemer, the Son of God, gave Himself, a vicarious sacrifice for each of us.

If we say that early death is a calamity, disaster, or tragedy, would it not be saying that mortality is preferable to earlier entrance into the spirit world and to eventual salvation and exaltation? If mortality be the perfect state, then death would be a frustration, but the gospel teaches us there is no tragedy in death, but only in sin.

We know so little. Our judgment is so limited. We judge the Lord often with less wisdom than does our youngest child weigh our decisions.

There is no cure for birth and death save to enjoy the interval.

If you live to be one hundred, you've got it made. Very few people die past that age.

Do not fear death so much, but rather the inadequate life.

Death is better, a milder fate than tyranny.

Death is more universal than life; everyone dies but not everyone lives.

I'd rather get my brains blown out in the wild than wait in terror at the slaughterhouse.
