"It is not living that matters, but living rightly"

- Socrates

About this Quote

This quote by Socrates is a suggestion that life is not about the quantity of time we invest living, but rather the lifestyle we lead. It is not enough to simply exist, but rather we must strive to live a life of purpose and meaning. Living rightly suggests dealing with intention and purpose, and making decisions that are in line with our values and beliefs. It indicates taking obligation for our actions and striving to make a positive impact on the world. Living rightly also implies bearing in mind our thoughts and words, and treating others with regard and compassion. Eventually, it is not the length of our lives that matters, but how we select to live them.
