Benevolence

Death

Phrase: life ebbs, life fails, life hangs by a thread; one's days are numbered, one's hour is come, one's race is run, one's doom is sealed; Death knocks at the door, Death stares one in the face; the breath is out of the body; the grave closes over one; sic itur ad astra; de mortuis nil nisi bonum; dulce et decorum est pro patria mori; honesta mors turpi vita potior; "in adamantine chains shall death be bound"; mors ultima linea rerum est; ominia mors aequat; "Spake the grisly Terror"; "the lone couch of this everlasting sleep"; nothing is certain but death and taxes.
