"So as the years draw on toward the Biblical limit, the inclination to look back, and to tell some sort of story of what one has seen, grows upon most of us"

- Mary A. Ward

About this Quote

This quote by Mary A. Ward talks to the natural inclination of human beings to reflect on their lives as they age. As we approach the end of our lives, we end up being more knowledgeable about the limited nature of our existence and the significance of assessing our experiences. Ward recommends that as we age, we end up being more likely to look back and inform stories of what we have seen. This could be in the form of writing, sharing stories with friends and family, or simply reviewing our lives in our own minds. It is a tip to put in the time to value the life we have actually lived and to share our stories with others. By doing so, we can make sure that our experiences are not forgotten which our lives have had an enduring effect.
