Quote by Anne Morrow Lindbergh

One cannot collect all the beautiful shells on the beach. One can collect only a few and they are more beautiful if they are a few.

One cannot collect all the beautiful shells on the beach. On

Summary

This quote suggests that attempting to accumulate everything of beauty or value in life is an impossible task. Just like it is not practical to gather every single shell on a beach, it is also not feasible to acquire every desirable thing in life. Instead, focusing on selecting a few meaningful and exquisite items, experiences, or relationships can be more rewarding and enjoyable. The quote emphasizes the notion that quality is more valuable than quantity, and that truly appreciating a few precious things can bring greater satisfaction than pursuing an endless accumulation.
