To live is not breathing it is action.

Summary

This quote emphasizes that living is not merely about the physical act of breathing, but rather, it is about taking action and engaging fully in life.

By emphasizing the importance of action, this quote encourages individuals to actively participate, explore, and make the most of every opportunity that comes their way.
