Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    I leave the governor’s office next week, and with it public life ... [which] has been on the whole a pleasant one. But for ten years and over my salaries have not equalled my expenses, and there has been a feeling of responsibility, a lack of independence, and a necessary neglect of my family and personal interests and comfort, which make the prospect of a change comfortable to think of.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    There is hope for the future. When the world is ready for a new and better life all this will some day come to pass in God’s good time.
    Earl Felton, and Richard Fleischer. Captain Nemo (James Mason)
