This quote by William Henry Harrison recommends that Englishmen see life as something to be gone over and analyzed, rather than something to be actively experienced. This suggests that Englishmen are most likely to consider life than to live it. They might be most likely to contemplate the significance of life, or to talk about the various elements of life, instead of to take action and take advantage of their lives. This might be seen as a criticism of Englishmen, as it suggests that they are too focused on thinking and discussing life, instead of in fact living it. It could likewise be seen as an alerting to Englishmen to be more conscious of their actions and to make the most of their lives. Eventually, this quote encourages Englishmen to be more active in their lives and to make the most of their time.
"Life is life - whether in a cat, or dog or man. There is no difference there between a cat or a man. The idea of difference is a human conception for man's own advantage"
