About This Quote

The great tragedy of life is not that men perish, but that they cease to love. The world would be a much better place if every person in it was fully devoted to the pursuit of love. Too many people let their lives become so focused on their own goals that they forget about the importance of love. They forget to take time for themselves and their friends and family. They forget that the best way to honor someone else is to make sure that person knows that he or she is valued by you.
