Quote by Charles A. Stoddard

When we can say no not only to things that are wrong and sinful, but also to things pleasant, profitable, and good which would hinder and clog our grand duties and our chief work, we shall understand more fully what life is worth, and how to make the most of it.


When we can say no not only to things that are wrong and sin

Summary

This quote suggests that true understanding of life's value and how to make the most of it comes when we have the ability to say no not only to activities that are morally wrong, but also to things that may seem pleasant, profitable, or good, but would distract or obstruct our main responsibilities and important tasks. By prioritizing our grand duties and focusing on our chief work, we gain a deeper appreciation for the worth of life and learn to optimize our time and efforts.
