Famous quotes containing the word life:

“What should we think of the shepherd’s life if his flocks always wandered to higher pastures than his thoughts?”

“Like plowing, housework makes the ground ready for the germination of family life. The kids will not invite a teacher home if beer cans litter the living room. The family isn’t likely to have breakfast together if somebody didn’t remember to buy eggs, milk, or muffins. Housework maintains an orderly setting in which family life can flourish.”
