FAMOUS LAST WORDS
G'day folks,
Life is a
struggle, and so is death for some people. The last
thing anyone wants to do on his dying bed is to regret a life already
spent and to exit the earth without saying a notable word.
Most people on their dying beds mutter one or two things before they take
their final breath and these words are said spontaneously. Death does not give
anyone time to gather the best last words to say but there are several of
these words by famous people that appear poetic, and scripted – some of the
words are funny and others motivating.
Death

battle field or somewhere they didn’t expect it to come, but they
were able to say something distinct that is worth including in this list of
