Quote by William Shakespeare
For it falls outThat what we have we prize not to the worthWhiles we enjoy it, but being lacked and lost,Why, then we rack the value, then we findThe virtue that possession would not show usWhile it was ours.
Summary
This quote suggests that oftentimes we fail to appreciate the value of something precious when we possess it. We tend to take things for granted and not acknowledge their worth until we lose them. It is only through the absence or loss that we come to recognize the true value and virtue of what we had. Our perspective changes, and we realize the importance of cherishing and appreciating what we have while we still have it.
