well, I read that somewhere...plus seen it around on a couple of sites...guess it's true
Here are some favourites:
"Dear me, I believe I am becoming a god. An emperor ought at least to die on his feet."
Vespasian (9-79 AD), Roman emperor
Apparently he was joking about the Roman convention of deitising (dunno how you spell that) late emperors...
"This is no time to make new enemies." - Voltaire, when asked on his deathbed to forswear Satan
"I feel nothing, apart from a certain difficulty in continuing to exist."
Bernard de Fontenelle (1657-1757), French philosopher.
After silence, that which comes closest to expressing the inexpressible is music.
-Aldous Huxley
Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius.
-W. A. Mozart
Non scholae, sed vitae discimus.
Not school, but life teaches us.
I might have posted this elsewhere, but one of my favourite death-bed quotes is from Oscar Wilde:
"Either that wallpaper goes or I do"
Faith is believing what you know ain't so - Mark Twain
The preachers deal with men of straw, as they are men of straw themselves - Henry David Thoreau
The way to see faith is to shut the eye of reason - Benjamin Franklin
The teaching of the church, theoretically astute, is a lie in practice and a compound of vulgar superstitions and sorcery - Leo Tolstoy
What would you guys say if you were on your death bed?
Books are the carriers of civillisation- Henri "Papillon" Charriere
"Until now, I've always been on time. Soon, though, I will be late..."
After silence, that which comes closest to expressing the inexpressible is music.
-Aldous Huxley

Hmm.. I hope I will remember to use Charles Foster Kane's last word (from the movie Citizen Kane): Rosebud.
Maybe then it will dawn on me what he meant
Our lives are better left to chance.
I could have missed the pain,
but then I'd have had to miss the dance
Garth Brooks
I would say: "You'll regret it when they're gone and you can't take it back..." My own little thing there, I've always said that, but don't know why I would say it on my death bed! Lol.

hehe, I wouldn't use this one, but it is pretty good:
"That's all folks" Like the Bugs Bunny cartoon.
Do, or do not. There is no try. - Yoda
On my death bed I would say the following: "Good bye." Then I would laugh aloud as I slowly faded into oblivion.
