What I get out of this quote " The Flame That Burns Twice As Bright Burns Half As Long " is,
that in life you should take it at a steady, comfortable paste in life and you will make it where
every you want to be or reach any of your goals. What the meaning of it is if you treat every thing in
life like it is a race you will burn your self out and will never reach the goals you have.
I do agree with this quote.
