It is a pity that dead men are still impacting the world while men who are still alive are wasting away, roaming the world without an understanding of what to do with their time.

About This Quote

The quote, "It is a pity that dead men are still impacting the world while men who are still alive are wasting away, roaming the world without an understanding of what to do with their time," is a reflection on the futility of life. The phrase suggests that when people who have passed away were active in society, they were able to make a difference. But when they were active in society, their impact was limited to a specific area. Now that they're dead, however, their impact has spread throughout the globe and continues to grow even after their deaths.
