Famous quotes containing the word life:

    I learned early in life that you get places by having the right enemies.
    Bishop John Spong (b. 1931)

    The life of man is of no greater importance to the universe than that of an oyster.
    David Hume (1711–1776)

    Somewhere along the line of development we discover who we really are, and then we make our real decision for which we are responsible. Make that decision primarily for yourself because you can never really live anyone else’s life not even your child’s. The influence you exert is through your own life and what you become yourself.
    Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
