[I think it meaning ' your zip is not done up' - it's Shakespeare right]*
* It is a quote from Benjamin Franklin (Poor Richard's Almanack,' June 1746)
I don't get the zip is not done up explanation, but it seems fairly self-explanatory to me. The way I see it is - life is short, don't waste time.

∙ 13y agoMovie? That's no movie line (although a movie script could have quoted it). It's a quotation from Benjamin Franklin:
But dost thou love life, then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of.
The grammar of the initial phrase ("But dost thou love life") is a bit unfamiliar to most of us; it uses an old form of "you" and an inverted subjunctive construction. Here's how we would say it now:
If you love life, do not waste time, for that is the stuff that life is made of.
actually this appears in the movie Gone with the Wind . It is on the sign leading into twelve oaks where Ashley Wilkes lives .
It is from Gone With the Wind. I don't know how the first respondent could claim it isn't from a movie, when it is from one of the most classic movies of this century.Wiki User
