"There are three hundred and sixty-four days when you might get un-birthday presents, and only one for birthday presents, you know"
- Lewis Carroll
About this Quote
This quote by Lewis Carroll is a reminder to appreciate the little things in life. It suggests that we should not consider granted the days that are not our birthdays, as there are a lot more of them than our actual birthdays. It is a pointer to be grateful for the small presents and gestures that we receive throughout the year, as they can typically be more meaningful than the presents we get on our birthdays. The quote likewise encourages us to be generous and thoughtful with our own presents, as we need to not limit our offering to simply one day of the year. By acknowledging the importance of the other 364 days, we can make each day unique and meaningful.
