Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    “A man’s personal defects will commonly have with the rest of the world precisely that importance which they have to himself. If he makes light of them, so will other men.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The logic of worldly success rests on a fallacy: the strange error that our perfection depends on the thoughts and opinions and applause of other men! A weird life it is, indeed, to be living always in somebody else’s imagination, as if that were the only place in which one could at last become real!”
    —Thomas Merton (1915–1968)
