中文翻译：
> 「思考死亡」，或者如果你更喜欢这个说法，「迁移到天堂」。
> 意义很清楚，—— 彻底学会如何死亡是一件了不起的事情。你可能认为学习一个只能使用一次的知识是多余的；但恰恰是因为这个原因，我们应该思考这件事。当我们永远无法证明是否真正了解一件事时，我们必须始终学习它。
> 「思考死亡。」说这话时，他是在告诉我们思考自由。学会如何去死的人便摆脱了为奴的习性；他凌驾于任何外部权力之上，或者至少超越了它。监牢、枷锁与铁栏对他还有什么可怕？他的出路是清晰的。只有一条锁链将我们束缚于生命，那就是对生命的热爱。这条锁链也许无法完全摆脱，但可以被磨损，以至于当必要时，既无拖延也无阻碍，我们能立即去做某时注定要做的事。
英文原文：
> “Think on death,” or rather, if you prefer the phrase, on “migration to heaven.” 9. The meaning is clear,—that it is a wonderful thing to learn thoroughly how to die. You may deem it superfluous to learn a text that can be used only once; but that is just the reason why we ought to think on a thing. When we can never prove whether we really know a thing, we must always be learning it. 10. “Think on death.” In saying this, he bids us think on freedom. He who has learned to die has unlearned slavery; he is above any external power, or, at any rate, he is beyond it. What terrors have prisons and bonds and bars for him? His way out is clear. There is only one chain which binds us to life, and that is the love of life. The chain may not be cast off, but it may be rubbed away, so that, when necessity shall demand, nothing may retard or hinder us from being ready to do at once that which at some time we are bound to do.
