Life is wasted on the living.

About This Quote

Life is wasted on the living, meaning that time is spent on the living rather than to life. What makes life special is that it can be taken away in an instant and we don't get a chance to spend the time we have in life to its full potential. Time flies when you're having fun, and it's important to not waste it.
