Famous quotes containing the word life:

    The life of a man who deliberately runs through his fortune often becomes a business speculation; his friends, his pleasures, patrons, and acquaintances are his capital.
    HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)

    My life has crept so long on a broken wing
    Through cells of madness, haunts of horror and fear,
    That I come to be grateful at last for a little thing.
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
