What famous quotation, in your opinion, teaches a very important lesson?

Answer 2

The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance, the wise grows it under his feet. James Oppenheim


I believe in life if you was to over simplify what everyone wants and cherishes the most is happiness. You can have logic, you can have riches but without happiness it is an empty shell. Most people tend to worry about living a long life when they should be worrying about living life. One should ask themselves daily whether they are living life or is life living you. Lifes most important lesson is just that. Live life. Live it now today like there will be no tomorrow.

Were toiling upwards through the night

Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling five balls in the air. You name them - work, family, health, friends, and spirit - and you're keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls - family, health, friends, and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged, or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life.
