Proverb Expansion

 The meaning of the statement is that a brave man never fears death whereas a coward is afraid of death. The brave and the courageous have no fear of death or of anything for that matter. This statement is found in the drama ‘Julies Caesar’. When Julius Caesar was about to go the Senate, his wife told him to go out of the house on that day as she had seen some bad omens. But Caesar told his wife that cowards die many times before their deaths and that the valiant would never taste of death but once. The valiant face death and other difficulties in life smilingly as essential facts of life. The terror of death, its pains and torments do not terrify them. It is these people who really lead a life. Cowards experience the pain of death whenever they think of death and whenever they face any danger or difficulty. But the valiant experience death only when they actually die. Fearlessness is the quality of a hero. Fear is the quality of cowards. A coward does not live at all. He lives in constant fear. His heart sinks at the thought of the smallest danger, thus a coward dies many times before his actual death. But the brave embrace death only once and that too fearlessly.
