"All men think all men mortal, but themselves"

This quote by Edward Young is a reminder that we all tend to think about ourselves as invincible and immortal. We frequently forget that we are all mortal and that our lives are finite. We tend to think that we are exempt from the very same fate that awaits all other people. This quote functions as a reminder that no matter how powerful or influential we might be, we are all based on the very same mortality. It is a pointer to be humble and to appreciate the time we have on this earth. We need to make every effort to maximize our lives and to live with function and objective. We need to also keep in mind that our lives are precious and that we should value every moment.
