Quote by Mark Twain

Let us so live that when we come to die even the undertaker

Summary

This quote suggests that our lives should be lived in such a way that we leave a lasting positive impact on others. By embodying kindness, compassion, and contributing to the well-being of those around us, we can ensure that even in our absence, our presence is remembered and missed. It emphasizes the importance of living a life filled with goodness and making a difference in the lives of others, to the extent that even someone who assists in the burial process cannot help but feel a sense of remorse for our departure.
