About This Quote
William Shakespeare said, "Exhaust the little moment. Soon it dies. And be it gash or gold it will not come again in this identical disguise." In this quote, he speaks about how you should not waste a single moment. He also speaks about how you should always be trying to gain something from your life.
The quote teaches us that we should never waste a single moment of our lives, even if that moment is filled with pain and hurt. Many people waste their lives by not taking advantage of every opportunity that comes along.
