Those quotations can be mentioned in various situations. Often they are used in speeches or in a humorous way. In order to find some of them grub around.

Take death for example. A great deal of our effort goes into avoiding it. We make extraordinary efforts to delay it, and often consider its intrusion a tragic event.
