Famous Last Words of Famous People

Everybody lives life, then dies. People who make a change, or become famous are sometimes looked up to by their last words. Some words are full of knowledge and wisdom and others have nothing to do with anything

I took what I thought were some cool "Last Words" and I compiled them. At the bottom of this post is a link to a site that shows you all of the presidents last words.

Enjoy!

Jefferson, Thomas (1743-1826) "Is it the Fourth?" (4 July 1826)

Gandhi, Indira (1917-1984) "I don't mind if my life goes in the service of the nation. If I die today every drop of my blood will invigorate the nation." (Said the night before she was assassinated by Sikh militants.)

Malcolm X (1925-1965) "Cool it, brothers..." (His last words before being assassinated.)

Presley, Elvis (1935-1977) "I hope I haven't bored you." (Concluding what would be his last press conference.)

Roosevelt, Franklin Delano (1882-1945) "I have a terrific headache."

Roosevelt, Theodore (1858-1919) "Put out the light."

Villa, Francisco `Pancho' (1878-1923) "Don't let it end like this. Tell them I said something."

Washington, George (1732-1799) "It is well, I die hard, but I am not afraid to go."

Millard Fillmore
[Accepting a spoonful of soup from his doctor.] The nourishment is palatable.

Abraham Lincoln
It doesn't really matter. [In response to his wife's admonition not to hold her hand at Ford's Theater, because people might see them. Lincoln's final utterance was laughter. During the performance of the play Our American Cousin, one of the actresses called for a shawl to protect her from the draft. An actor then ad-libbed a reply, "You are mistaken, Miss Mary, the draft has been stopped by order of the President." Lincoln was laughing at this line when he was shot.]

Ulysses Grant
Water.

Grover Cleveland
I have tried so hard to do right.

Benjamin Harrison
Are the doctors here? Doctor...my lungs.

William McKinley
Good-bye -- good-bye, all. We are all going.
It's God's way. His will be done, not ours.
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee.
We are all going, we are all going, we are all
going. Oh, dear.

Theodore Roosevelt
Please put out the light.

Warren Harding
That's good. Go on. Read some more. [To his wife, who was reading him flattering newspaper accounts.]

Franklin Roosevelt
I have a terrific headache. (FDR died of a massive cerebral hemorrhage.)

Dwight Eisenhower
I've always loved my wife, my children, and my grandchildren,
and I've always loved my country. I want to go. I'm
ready to go. God, take me.
