Last words

Post by 1over137 »

Hi all. I'm just curious what are your favourite quotes (last words) from famous people.
But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good.
-- 1 Thessalonians 5:21

For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.
-- Philippians 1:6

Dying words of famous atheists ---------

Voltaire: ‘I am abandoned by God and man…I shall go to hell.’

Thomas Paine: 'I would give worlds, if I had them, that the "Age of
Reason" had never been published. Oh, God, save me; for I am at the
edge of hell alone…’

Thomas Carlyle: I am as good as without hope, a sad old man gazing
into the final chasm.’

Gandhi 15 years before his death: ‘I must tell you in all humility
that Hinduism, as I know it…entirely satisfies my soul, fills my whole
being and I find solace in the Bhagavad and the Upanishads.’ Shortly
before his death he wrote: ‘My days are numbered, I am not likely to
live much longer, perhaps a year or more…For the first time in 50
years I find myself in the slough of despond…All about me is darkness;
I am praying for light.’

Sir Thomas Scott, Chancellor of England: ‘Until this moment, I
thought there was neither God nor Hell…Now I know and feel that there
are both, and I am doomed to perdition by the just judgment of the
Almighty…’

Edward Gibbon, author: ‘All is dark and doubtful.’

Mazarin, French cardinal: ‘Oh, my poor soul! What will become of
thee? Whither wilt thou go?’

Thomas Hobbes, political philosopher and sceptic: ‘I am about to take
a fearful leap into the dark.’

Sir Francis Newport, sceptic: ‘I know I am lost forever! Oh, that
fire! Oh, the insufferable pangs of hell'
"I never asserted such an absurd proposition, that something could arise without a Cause" -- staunch atheist Philosopher David Hume.

"What this world now needs is Christian love or compassion" -- staunch atheist Bertrand Russell.

Be careful these may not be accurate as there many contradicting reports. Double check.
Romans 12:17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody.

I checked a few websites and they all reported the same thing.
