"Life, we learn too late, is in the living, the tissue of every day and hour"
- Stephen Leacock
About this Quote
This quote by Stephen Leacock is a tip that life is not something that can be postponed till later on. It is something that is occurring right now, in the present moment. Life is comprised of the small moments that comprise our days and hours. We frequently take these minutes for approved, but they are the material of our lives. We may not understand it till it is far too late, but life is in the living. We need to take the time to appreciate the little things and enjoy the minutes that comprise our lives. We need to not wait until it is too late to value the appeal of life. We must live in the present and maximize every day and hour.
"My sorrow, when she's here with me, thinks these dark days of autumn rain are beautiful as days can be; she loves the bare, the withered tree; she walks the sodden pasture lane"
"Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time"
"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character"
