Quote by Sir Thomas Wyatt
The longer the life the more the offense, the more the offense the more the pain, the more the pain the less defense and the less defense the less the gain.
Summary
This quote suggests that as one's life span increases, the likelihood of encountering offenses also increases. With more offenses, one experiences more emotional pain. This pain diminishes one's ability to defend oneself against negative experiences and limits personal growth and progress. In essence, the quote implies that the longer one lives while being exposed to offenses, the less they are able to gain from their life experiences.
