The intention to live as long as possible isn't one of the mind's best intentions, because quantity isn't the same as quality.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Life isn't about quantity, it's about quality.
The quality, not the longevity, of one's life is what is important.
No matter the risks we take, we always consider the end to be too soon, even though in life, more than anything else, quality should be more important than quantity.
The quality of life is more important than life itself.
It is obvious that different individuals require different things to live good, healthy, and virtuous lives.
It is better to have a meaningful life and make a difference than to merely have a long life.
All that counts in life is intention.
Wise living consists perhaps less in acquiring good habits than in acquiring as few habits as possible.
It is not the quantity but the quality of knowledge which determines the mind's dignity.
It is best to live however one can be.
