- Every moment people are dying, but those who are living are thinking, 'My friend has died, but I shall live forever. - (Mahabharata, Vana-parva 313.116) Soft cow dung thinks the same way. This is typical of conditioned beings
- Every moment we see that someone is going to the court of Yamaraja - that means death. That is our experience, everything. Who is not yet dead, still alive, he thinks, I will never die. This is the most wonderful thing
- Everyone can see that his grandfather has died, and therefore he will also die; man is mortal. BG 1972 purports
- Everyone has to die because everyone is fully under the control of material nature, yet everyone thinks that he is independent, that whatever he likes he can do, that he will never meet death but live forever, and so on
- Everyone has to die sometime, but the problem is that most men your age are thinking, "I will live another fifty years'', but now you have been informed that in your case, you will not live so long
- Everyone is dying, and everyone is trying not to die. This is the problem. Nobody wants to die, but everyone is dying. That problem this rascal scientist cannot solve. Therefore they are like dogs, and to catch their tail is like that. Yes

- Everyone is sure to die, for no one is excused from the hands of death, which is but a feature of the Supreme Personality of Godhead (mrtyuh sarva-haras caham) - BG 10.34
- Everyone is trying to live. Nobody wants to die. Why this psychological desire is there? I want to live. That means that he is eternal. Therefore he wants to live
- Everyone knows that he is going to die. He has taken birth; he has become old; he has suffered diseases. Then where is the solution?
- Everyone must die in this way (in great bereavement), and after one's mental condition is taken into account by the laws of material nature, he is given another chance to fulfill his desires in a different body
- Everyone should be ready to die while performing glorious deeds. A glorious person is not meant to meet death like cats and dogs
- Everyone should become diseased. Everyone should become old. Everyone must die. This is the problem
- Everyone wants to exploit the state resources till he dies. No one retires from political life unless forced to do so. How can such low-grade men do good to the people? The result is corruption, intrigue and hypocrisy
- Everyone who died in His (Krsna's) presence (on the battlefield of Kuruksetra) attained complete liberation from material bondage and was transferred to the spiritual world
- Everyone who died in the battlefield of Kuruksetra, they got salvation. That is stated in Bhisma's teachings. So they got the benefit, but not that everyone understood Krsna
- Everyone will die. So before death one should be complete in Krsna consciousness. That is success of life
- Everyone will die. So nobody can check death. However great scientist he may, he cannot stop death. By laws of nature one is becoming old. By your scientific advancement you can stop first of all
- Everything should be done quickly. Because we do not know when we shall die. So everything, Krsna consciousness business, should be done as quickly as possible
- Except the five Pandava brothers, everyone died on the Battlefield of Kuruksetra

F
- Factually He (Krsna) was merciful to the opposite party because they would not have attained salvation by dying at home in the ordinary course of life. Here was a chance to see the Lord at the time of death and thus attain salvation from material life

- First I cut the child in the womb into seven pieces, which became seven children. Then I cut each of the children into seven pieces again. By the grace of the Supreme Lord, however, none of them died

- For one who dies in Krsna consciousness, as stated before, entrance into Krsnaloka, the supreme abode where Krsna resides, is guaranteed. At this point one may ask what the advantage is in going to that planet, and Krsna Himself answers - in BG 8.15

- Generally, for the householders, the children are the life and breath force. When all the children die, then naturally the parents also die on account of strong affection for them
- God does not die, so I also shall not die. That is my position. That is explained in Bhagavad-gita (2.20): na jayate mriyate va kadacit. Describing the soul, Krsna says that the soul is never born (na jayate), and if one is not born how can he die
- God has given this law, "You must die." This is applicable to everyone - Hindu, Muslim, Christian, man, animal, trees, birds, beasts, everyone. It cannot be disobeyed. That is law. That is God's law

- He may have some temporary facilities, but the main problem is still there. Every minute, every second, people are dying and going to Yamaraja
