A very agreeable saying: when economic conditions permit, people should enjoy proper eating, drinking, playing, and having fun while they are young. Don't always think about enjoying life after retirement; by then, all happiness will be greatly diminished or even become tasteless. The meaning of "morning flowers, evening recollections" is: when you're thirty, buying what you wanted at eighteen or going to the places you dreamed of at twenty becomes meaningless. There aren't that many long-lasting tomorrows in the world; only the unpredictability of life.
