Death Quote by Stonewall Jackson — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“War means fighting. The business of the soldier is to fight. Armies are not called out to dig trenches, to throw up breastworks, to live in camps, but to find the enemy and strike him; to invade his country, and do him all possible damage in the shortest possible time. This will involve great destruction of life and property while it lasts; but such a war will of necessity be of brief continuance, and so would be an economy of life and property in the end.”

“When compared to the fact that he might very well be dead by this time tomorrow, whether he was courageous or not today was pointless, empty. When compared to the fact that he might be dead tomorrow, everything was pointless. It just didn't make any difference. It was pointless to the tree, it was pointless to every man in his outfit, pointless to everybody in the whole world. Who cared? It was not pointless only to him; and when he was dead, when he ceased to exist, it would be pointless to him too. More important: Not only would it”

“Why would a living person worry about what happens after they die? I'll just live freely for as long as possible.”

“Ich werde stehen und warten.”

“Her blood is settled, and her joints are stiff;”

“I'm not afraid of death because I don't believe in it.”

“For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and melt into the sun?”
