“Some things are more precious because they don't last long.”
— Oscar Wilde

Simplified Meaning:
There are things in life that we value a lot because they are temporary. Think about a beautiful sunset: it doesn't last long, but we find it special because it's only there for a short time. Similarly, a bouquet of fresh flowers is precious because the blossoms will wither soon, making us appreciate their beauty while it lasts. Relationships can be like this too; we cherish time spent with friends or loved ones because one day, we might not see them as often. When we realize that something won't be around forever, we tend to appreciate it more. So, enjoying and valuing those fleeting moments or things can make our lives feel richer and more meaningful.
