Quality, Not Quantity

"We live less than the time it takes to blink an eye, if we measure our lives against eternity...I learned a long time ago that a blink of an eye in itself is nothing. But the eye that blinks, that is something.
A span of life is nothing. But the man who lives that span, he is something.
He can fill that tiny span with meaning, so its quality is immeasurable though its quanity may be insignificant."
