"By the time we hit fifty, we have learned our hardest lessons. We have found out that only a few things are really important. We have learned to take life seriously, but never ourselves"

This quote by Marie Dressler speaks with the knowledge that includes age. By the time we reach fifty, we have experienced enough of life to understand what is really important. We have actually discovered that life is major and that we need to take it seriously, but that we must not take ourselves too seriously. We have discovered that there are just a couple of things that truly matter in life, and that we need to focus our energy and attention on those things. We have also learned that it is necessary to enjoy life and to not take ourselves too seriously. This quote speaks with the value of gaining from our experiences and comprehending that life is a journey and that we must enjoy it.
