Famous quotes containing the word life:

    No Life can pompless pass away—
    The lowliest career
    To the same Pageant wends its way
    As that exalted here—
    Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    What am I then, my God? What is my nature? A life varied, multifaceted and truly immense.
    St. Augustine (354–430)

    Who does not see that I have taken a road along which I shall go, without stopping and without effort, as long as there is ink and paper in the world? I cannot keep a record of my life by my actions; fortune places them too low. I keep it by my thoughts.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
