Final Words
President George Washington: “Doctor, I am dying, but I am not afraid to die.” He folded his hands over his chest and said: “It is well,” (As related by his wife Martha).
John Wesley, preacher and songwriter: “The best of all is that God is with us, farewell, farewell.”
Voltaire, one of history’s best known atheists, often stated that “by the time I’m buried, the Bible will be non-existent.” His last words were: “I am abandoned by God and man; I shall die and go to hell alone.” His condition had become so terrible that his associates were afraid to approach his bedside, and as he passed away, his nurse said that for all of the wealth in Europe, she would never watch another infidel die. A few years after he died the Geneva Bible Society purchased Voltaire’s home and turned it into a print shop to print Bibles.
David Brainerd, (well known missionary): “I am going into eternity and it is sweet to me to think of eternity.”
Charles Darwin, on his deathbed: “I regret that I suggested a theory, and that gullible men gobbled it up, as though it were fact. I never intended that.”
