About This Quote
No man ever threw away life while it was worth keeping. This is a true statement, but not a very cheerful one. It means that it is possible to lose the possibility of having a good life, but still have a good life. It can happen that a small slip or mistake may prevent you from making the most of your life, but more often than not, you can still make use of your life until the end.
Many people waste their lives without knowing what it is they are doing. They waste their time and energy on things that will never make them happy or proud of themselves. Their lives are wasted without any purpose or meaning and they might just as well give up that useless existence.
