Many great men believed in reincarnation, life after death and the continuation of the soul. I am adding some quotes here.
"As long as you are not aware of the continual law of Die and Be Again, you are merely a vague guest on a dark Earth." - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"The Celts were fearless warriors because "they wish to inculcate this as one of their leading tenets, that souls do not become extinct, but pass after death from one body to another..." - Julius Caesar
"Live so that thou mayest desire to live again - that is thy duty - for in any case thou wilt live again!"- Freidrich Nietzsche
"The soul comes from without into the human body, as into a temporary abode, and it goes out of it anew it passes into other habitations, for the soul is immortal." "It is the secret of the world that all things subsist and do not die, but only retire a little from sight and afterwards return again. Nothing is dead; men feign themselves dead, and endure mock funerals… and there they stand looking out of the window, sound and well, in some strange new disguise."-Ralph Waldo Emerson
"I know I am deathless. No doubt I have died myself ten thousand times before. I laugh at what you call dissolution, and I know the amplitude of time."-Walt Whitman
"So as through a glass and darkly, the age long strife I see, Where I fought in many guises, many names, but always me."-General George S. Patton
"Reincarnation contains a most comforting explanation of reality by means of which Indian thought surmounts difficulties which baffle the thinkers of Europe."-Albert Schweitzer
"Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting; The Soul that rises with us, our life's Star, Hath had elsewhere its setting. And cometh from afar."-William Wordsworth
"My life often seemed to me like a story that has no beginning and no end. I had the feeling that I was an historical fragment, an excerpt for which the preceding and succeeding text was missing. I could well imagine that I might have lived in former centuries and there encountered questions I was not yet able to answer; that I had been born again because I had not fulfilled the task given to me." -Carl Jung
"I am confident that there truly is such a thing as living again, that the living spring from the dead, and that the souls of the dead are in existence."-Socrates
"As we live through thousands of dreams in our present life, so is our present life only one of many thousands of such lives which we enter from the other more real life and then return after death. Our life is but one of the dreams of that more real life, and so it is endlessly, until the very last one, the very real the life of God."-Count Leo Tolstoy
"All pure and holy spirits live on in heavenly places, and in course of time they are again sent down to inhabit righteous bodies."-Josephus (Jewish historian who lived around the time of Jesus)
