Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    “It is cowardly to fly from natural duties and take up those that suit our taste or temperament better; but it is also unwise to take an exaggerated view of personal duties, which shuts out the proper care of the mind and body entrusted to us.”
    —Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)

    “No Life can pompless pass away—
    The lowliest career
    To the same Pageant wends its way
    As that exalted here—”
