Karl Marx:
"Last words are for fools who have not said enough."
Buddha:
"Work hard to gain your own redemption."
Queen Elizabeth I:
"Call time again! Call time again! A world of wealth for an inch of time. Call time again!"
Catherine Booth (wife of General William Booth, founder of Salvation Army):
"The waters are rising, but so am I. I am not going under; I am going over."
Voltaire, the noted French philosopher/infidel, once boasted, "I will destroy Christianity in 20 years. My single hand shall destroy the edifice it took twelve apostles to build."
He spent his life trying to stamp out the Bible, yet the irony of it was that after he died the Geneva Bible Society bought his house and used it as the headquarters to distribute the Word of God all over the world.
His dying words still ring out:
"I am abandoned by both God and man. I will give you all of my worth for six months' life. Then I shall go to hell, and you will go with me O Christ."
Lehman Strauss said, "The last words of some of the world's greatest men and women have been recorded, engraved upon marble slabs and monuments, woven into expensive tapestry, and painted in the most imperishable colors of art. But of all the words that have been preserved for us, the Seven Sayings of the Savior stand towering high above them all. As He spoke from Golgotha's brow, He used sublime and holy words as the garment of His thoughts."
It has been said, "GROWN MEN DON'T CRY!"
But, the GREATEST MAN of human history not only cried while He lived, but CRIED while He died.
