Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    [The election] ... was an event in which, so far as the personal side is concerned, the victory was to him who lost and the defeat to him who won. I can say that never in the last fifteen years have I had the peace of mind that I have since the election. I have almost a feeling of elation.
    Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)

    The bitter sea of life is boundless; if one but turns around, there’s the shore.
    Chinese proverb.
