- Leonardo DaVinci
About this Quote
This quote by Leonardo DaVinci talks to the concept that how we live our lives will figure out how we experience death. A day that is well invested, with significant activities and relationships, will bring a sense of satisfaction and contentment that will result in a tranquil sleep. Likewise, a life that is well used, with purpose and intention, will bring a sense of fulfillment and happiness that will result in a peaceful death. This quote motivates us to live our lives with intention and function, to make the most of our time here in the world. It advises us that our lives are finite and that we ought to make every effort to take advantage of our time here. We ought to strive to make meaningful connections, to pursue our passions, and to live our lives with function. In doing so, we can ensure that our death will be a tranquil one, filled with happiness and fulfillment.
"Life is life - whether in a cat, or dog or man. There is no difference there between a cat or a man. The idea of difference is a human conception for man's own advantage"
