More Epitaphs

Shakespear's:

Good friend for Jesus sake forbeare,
To dig the dust enclosed here.
Blessed be the man that spares these stones,
And cursed be he that moves my bones.

Benjamin Franklin:

The body of B. Franklin, Printer,
Like the Cover of an old Book.
Its Contents torn out.
And stripped of its Lettering and Gilding.
Lies here.  Food for worms.
But the Work shall not be wholly lost.
For it will as he believ’d
appear once more
In a new and more elegant Edition
Corrected and improved
By the Author.

Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.

“Free at last.  Free at last.
Thank God Almighty
I’m Free at last.”

An Unknown Atheist:

This is one of the most famous funny tombstone quotes and it is from an epitaph from a graveyard in Thurmont, Maryland. It remains unknown who the atheist in question was, but we are sure he had a sharp sense of humour!

“Here lies an atheist.
All dressed up with no place to go.”
