A Quote by Laurence Housman

I shall not die young, for I am already near seventy: I may die old. — © Laurence Housman
I shall not die young, for I am already near seventy: I may die old.
The rest of my days I'm going to spend on the sea. And when I die, I'm going to die on the sea. You know what I shall die of? I shall die of eating an unwashed grape. One day out on the ocean I will die — with my hand in the hand of some nice-looking ship's doctor, a very young one with a small blond moustache and a big silver watch.
May you keep dreaming until the day you die. May imagination overtake memory. May you die young at a ripe old age.
Those who love deeply never grow old; they may die of old age, but they die young.
I shall die very young...maybe seventy, maybe eighty, maybe ninety. But I shall be very young.
Oh, the worst of all tragedies is not to die young, but to live until I am seventy five and yet not ever truly to have lived.
I am young now and can look upon my body and soul with pride. But it will be mangled soon, and later it will begin to disintegrate, and then I shall die, and die conclusively. How can we face such a fact, and not live in fear?
The world will die, but I shall not die.If God dies, then I will die;If he does not die, then why should I die?
Some die too young, some die too old; the precept sounds strange, but die at the right age.
Thou shalt understand that it is a science most profitable, and passing all other sciences, for to learn to die. For a man to know that he shall die, that is common to all men; as much as there is no man that may ever live or he hath hope or trust thereof; but thou shalt find full few that hath this cunning to learn to die. I shall give thee the mystery of this doctrine; the which shall profit thee greatly to the beginning of ghostly health, and to a stable fundamental of all virtues.
The young may die, but the old must!
They say the good die young, so the bad die old. Guess we somewhere in the middle, so just pray for my soul.
I'm sixty-two, and it's ecological sense to die while you're still productive, die and clear a space for others, old and young.
It may be that without a vision men shall die. It is no less true that, without hard practical sense, they shall also die. Without Jefferson the new nation might have lost its soul. Without Hamilton it would assuredly have been killed in body.
I may die young, but at least I'll die smart.
I am not and will never again be a young writer, a young homeowner, a young teacher. I was never a young wife. The only thing I could do now for which my youth would be a truly notable feature would be to die. If I died now, I'd die young. Everything else, I'm doing middle-aged.
Die - you will have to die. But die gracefully. I am not saying die like a stoic, I am not saying die like a very controlled man. No, I'm saying die gracefully, beautifully, as if a friend is coming, knocks at your door, and you are happy. And you embrace the friend and invite him in, and you have been waiting for him so long.
