About this Quote

This quote by Casey Stengel speaks to the idea that life is a balancing act. When we are young, we are often blamed for things we didn't do, and as we grow older, we are provided credit for things we didn't do. This quote recommends that life has a method of evening itself out, which ultimately, we will be given credit for the good ideas we do, and not be blamed for the bad things we didn't do. This quote is a suggestion that life is a journey, and that we should not be discouraged by the bad things that happen to us, since eventually, the good will exceed the bad. It is a suggestion to stay positive and to keep striving for the very best, even when it appears like the odds are against us.
