Quote by Thomas Jones
Many do with opportunities as children do at the seashore; they fill their little hands with sand, and then let the grains fall through, one by one, till all are gone.
Summary
This quote suggests that some people waste opportunities the same way children play with sand on the beach. They grab onto various opportunities without fully utilizing them, allowing them to slip away one by one until they have lost them all. It serves as a metaphor for the tendency to not make the most of the chances we are presented with, leaving us with nothing in the end.
