"Life, we learn too late, is in the living, the tissue of every day and hour"
- Stephen Leacock
About this Quote
This quote by Stephen Leacock is a tip that life is not something that can be postponed till later on. It is something that is occurring right now, in the present moment. Life is comprised of the small moments that comprise our days and hours. We frequently take these minutes for approved, but they are the material of our lives. We may not understand it till it is far too late, but life is in the living. We need to take the time to appreciate the little things and enjoy the minutes that comprise our lives. We need to not wait until it is too late to value the appeal of life. We must live in the present and maximize every day and hour.
