"Die, v.: To stop sinning suddenly"
- Elbert Hubbard
About this Quote
Elbert Hubbard's quote "Die, v.: To stop sinning all of a sudden" can be analyzed in a few various methods. One possible interpretation is that death is seen as a last end to one's capability to sin or make mistakes. Another interpretation is that death is an unexpected stop to one's ability to alter or enhance, as if one is frozen in their state of being at the time of death. In either case, the quote seems to recommend a particular finality to death, as well as a potential resolution or redemption from sinning. In general, the quote raises intriguing questions about the nature of death and its relationship to morality and spiritual growth.
