Ralph Waldo EmersonLife is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood.
About This Quote
As a person grows older, they learn to live with age. They learn to live without regret. They learn that the joy that they felt in their youth is not going to last forever. The same joy that they get from a new love is also going to fade away.
But, what they do have is the knowledge and wisdom from life. As a person gets older, he or she will be able to share this wisdom with others. The same way that life teaches people about everything from love and loss to getting out of debt and saving money, life has many life lessons for everyone.
