About This Quote
This quote is taken from the book of Ecclesiastes. The bible states that people should not fear death, since they are just passing through. I think it is very sad that people fear death so much, fearing that the only thing after life is nothingness. This quote says to stop fearing death, because in fact it is their greatest glory. They are given a second chance to continue on with life.
