Dying is a troublesome business: there is pain to be suffered, and it wrings one's heart; but death is a splendid thing–a warfare accomplished, a beginning all over again, a triumph. You can always see that in their faces.

George Bernard Shaw
About This Quote

As the saying goes, “Dying is a troublesome business: there is pain to be suffered, and it wrings your heart. But death is a splendid thing—a warfare accomplished, a beginning all over again, a triumph. You can always see that in their faces.” This quote says that dying is a troublesome business. It’s painful and can leave a person feeling very sad.

But when you look at it from a different perspective, dying is actually a triumph! People who have been through the experience of dying have told me that it was the most amazing experience of their life. In death they felt triumphant because they had overcome their greatest fear and achieved something that they knew they could never do in life.
