Samuel Butler Dying Quotations

The dead should be judged like criminals, impartially, but they should be allowed the benefit of the doubt.

Young people have a marvelous faculty of either dying or adapting themselves to circumstances.

Sensible people get the greater part of their own dying done during their own lifetime

To die completely, a person must not only forget but be forgotten, and he who is not forgotten is not dead.

If a man knows not life which he hath seen, how shall he know death, which he hath not seen?

Our own death is a premium which we must pay for the far greater benefit we have derived from the fact that so many people have not only lived but also died before us.
