"I think that, as life is action and passion, it is required of a man that he should share the passion and action of his time at peril of being judged not to have lived"

This quote by Oliver Wendell Holmes is a suggestion that life is full of action and passion, and it is important for us to take part in the action and enthusiasm of our time. It is a call to action, to be engaged in the world around us and to participate in the occasions that form our lives. By doing so, we can ensure that we are living life to the max and making the most of our time. If we do not take part in the action and passion of our time, we risk being evaluated as having not lived life to its max capacity. This quote motivates us to be active participants in our lives and to maximize our time.
