About This Quote
The opposite of life, as defined by the phrase, “The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall,” is death. Death is not the opposite of life; instead, death is a part of life. Death is a part of our existence and we should not fear it. We should be aware of its existence and know that death is something we will all experience.
