Quote by George Bernard Shaw

Do not try to live forever. You will not succeed.

Do not try to live forever. You will not succeed.

Summary

This quote advises against the futility of striving for immortality. It acknowledges the fleeting nature of human existence and cautions against an obsessive pursuit of eternal life. It suggests that our time on Earth is finite, and rather than expending energy on an unattainable goal, we should embrace the reality of mortality and focus on making the most of the limited time we have. It encourages individuals to value and appreciate the present moment rather than becoming fixated on an unachievable and unrealistic ambition.
