About This Quote

It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live. In this quote, it is said that the main thing a man should fear is never starting something new. Many people think that they can end their pain and suffering by immediately dying. However, they will only prolong the pain and suffering they face in their lives by doing so.

It is better to work on yourself and your problems than to just give up and die. This quote is important because it was said by someone who lived for years with terminal illnesses. Some people think that there is no point in trying to live when everything seems to be hopeless.

But if you are committed to living, you can overcome all of your problems and become the best person you can be.
