Jane Austen - a (mis)interpretation

Syllogistic (good) morning
(you know:
’All men are mortal/
Socrates is a man/
therefore Socrates is mortal’)

’Life seems but a quick succession of busy nothings’.
(Jane Austen)
Succession (i.e. ’try harder every day’) makes success – therefore
QUICK-BUSY LIFE SEEMS NOTHING BUT A SUCCESS.
