Quote by Lucius Annaeus Seneca

As is a tale, so is life: not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of quality over quantity in life. It suggests that the length of life is not as significant as the fulfillment and richness experienced in that time. Just like a tale, it is not the duration but the content and impact that truly matter. It implies that we should measure our lives based on the experiences, relationships, and meaningful moments we collect rather than the mere passage of time. Thus, the quote encourages individuals to focus on making their lives meaningful and worthwhile rather than fixating on its length.
