Summary

This quote, often attributed to Hemingway, means that one's path to failure and negative consequences is often paved with missed opportunities and unfulfilled actions. The expression uses the image of a "stuffed dog," representing things of little value or minor significance, to illustrate that failure to take meaningful action or make wise choices can have long-term consequences. It serves as a reminder to seize opportunities, make important decisions, and take proactive steps to avoid regrets and an unfavorable outcome in life.
