Quote by Bryant H. McGill

It is better to have a meaningful life and make a difference than to merely have a long life.

It is better to have a meaningful life and make a difference

Summary

This quote suggests that the quality of one's life and the impact they make on others are more important than the length of their lifespan. It implies that mere existence without purpose or significance is ultimately less fulfilling. Instead, it encourages individuals to seek fulfillment, meaning, and purpose in their actions, to make a positive difference in the lives of others, and to leave a lasting impact on the world, even if it means sacrificing the length of their own life.

We can catch buses and count our change and cross the roads and talk real sentences. But our innocence goes awfully deep, and our discreditable secret is that we don't know anything at all, and our horrid inner secret is that we don't care that we don't.
