“It is the very joy of this earthly life to think that it will soon come to an end.”
  ----C.H.Spurgeon
 

“Wicked men are fixed in their carnal hope, and will not be beaten out of it; they hold it fast, they will not let it go, but death will knock off their fingers. Though we cannot undeceive them, death and judgment will. When death strikes his dart through your liver, it will ruin your soul and your hopes together. The unsanctified have hope only in this life, and therefore are of all men most miserable.
When death comes, it lets them out into the amazing gulf of endless despair.”
-Joseph Alleine
From Sure Guide to Heaven
 

“We are all speeding onward through our brief life like an arrow shot from a bow, and we feel that we shall not drop down at the end of our flight into the dreariness of annihilation. We shall find a heavenly target far across the flood of death. The force which impels us onward is too mighty to be restrained by death”
---- C.H.Spurgeon
 

 "What!" cries one, "Is there not a terrible amount of pain connected with death?" I answer, No. It is life that has the pain,- death is the finish of all pain. You blame death for the disease of which he is the cure!”
---- C.H.Spurgeon
 

“It is a grand thing to see a man dying full of life. The river of his mortal life comes to an end, but only by widening into the ocean of the glory life above. God makes his dying people to be like the sun, which never seems so large as when it sets. All the glories of midday are eclipsed by the marvels of sunset.”
  ---- C.H.Spurgeon

"If you look at the matter aright, death is the sphere in which the entire world moves.  Nothing but pictures and works of death!  Till Judgment Day life is a constant and daily journey toward death.   One after another die, and the living must merely engage in the miser­able business of carrying one another to the grave. . . . We bring death into the world with us, bear it and drag it about with us from the moment of our birth, and all of us are traveling the same road together.  The only difference is that one precedes another or is carried out before another, while the others must follow him until the turn of the last one comes. And there is no deliverance, nor can help against death be had from any creature. Death rules over all (Rom. 5:14) and irresistibly sweeps all away."

----Martin Luther as quoted in What Luther Says: A Practical In-Home Anthology for the Active Christian
