Quote by Tryon Edwards

What we gave, we have; What we spent, we had; What we left, we lost.

What we gave, we have; What we spent, we had; What we left,

Summary

This quote alludes to the concept of taking stock of our lives. It suggests that what we have given to others, whether in terms of love, support, or generosity, remains with us. Likewise, what we have invested our time and energy into, whether it be relationships, work, or personal growth, contributes to our personal growth and experiences. However, the quote also hints at the idea that what we leave behind, either due to neglect or lack of attention, can be lost or unfulfilled. It serves as a reminder to be mindful of what we choose to invest in and to ensure that what we leave behind holds meaning or value.
