About This Quote

The original meaning of this quote was, “A man begins dying at the moment of his birth.” Even though it sounds like it is saying that death is inevitable, this is not the case. Many people only begin to appreciate death once they are into their old age. It is often when one starts to become sick or suffers a severe injury that they start to realize how fragile life really is.
