“Account no man happy till he dies.”
What this quote means
This quote reminds us that happiness is fragile and life can change in an instant. As long as we live, nothing is final—setbacks, trials, but also joyful reversals remain possible. It invites humility in judging others' lives and prudence in our assessments. It's wisdom that encourages us not to be arrogant in success nor to despise those facing hardship, because life is unpredictable.
How to apply it daily
