Life is like an ice-cream cone, you have to lick it one day at a time.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Life should be enjoyed day by day, savoring each moment.

Just as one must take time to enjoy an ice cream cone one lick at a time, we are encouraged to appreciate and embrace each day, recognizing that life is both sweet and temporary.

They'll be days like this" my momma said. _x000D_ When you open your hands to catch, and wind up with only blisters and bruises. _x000D_ When you try to step out of the phone booth and try to fly , and the very people you want to save, are the ones standing on your cape. _x000D_ When your boots will fill with rain, and you'll be up to your knees with disappointment _x000D_ And those are the very days you have all the more reason to say "Thank you".

So you mustn't be frightened, dear Mr. Kappus, if a sadness rises in front of you, larger than any you have ever seen; if an anxiety - like light and cloud-shadows, moves over your hands and everything you do. You must realize that something is happening to you, that life has not forgotten you, that it holds you in the palm of its hand and will not let you fall.
