About this Quote

This quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson is a suggestion that life is not measured by its length, however by its quality. It is not the number of years we live that matters, but how we live them. We must aim to make the most of our lives, to live with purpose and passion, and to make a favorable impact on the world. We ought to aim to make our lives significant and fulfilling, to make a difference in the lives of others, and to leave a long lasting tradition. Life is not about the number of years we live, however about the quality of life we live. We ought to make every effort to make our lives deep and significant, to maximize our time here on earth, and to leave an enduring impression on the world.
