Life is too short to waste your time on people who don’t respect, appreciate, and value you.

Roy T. Bennett
About This Quote

It is not the time we have on earth, but the quality of that time that makes all the difference. If we spend our lives doing things we hate and people we don’t like, then our life will be a waste. The time we spend with those we love and respect is far more valuable than any other time in our lives. If you value those you love and care about, then you must respect them as well as appreciate their value to you.
