Famous quotes containing the word life:
“There are some things which cannot be learned quickly, and time, which is all we have, must be paid heavily for their acquiring. They are the very simplest things and because it takes a man’s life to know them the little new that each man gets from life is very costly and the only heritage he has to leave.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“All animals, except man, know that the principal business of life is to enjoy it.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
