Summary

This quote is a clever play on words and philosophy. Socrates' quote suggests that true existence or fulfillment comes from actively engaging in actions or deeds. On the other hand, Sartre's quote implies that one's identity or essence is defined by the actions they carry out. Lastly, Sinatra's variation adds a lighthearted touch, playing with the word "be" to create a nonsensical phrase. Collectively, these quotes allude to the intricate relationship between being and doing, highlighting the significance of action and behavior in one's personal development and self-discovery.
