Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “Among the smaller duties of life I hardly know any one more important than that of not praising where praise is not due.”
    —Sydney Smith (1771–1845)

    “I had this advantage, at least, in my mode of life, over those who were obliged to look abroad for amusement, to society and the theatre, that my life itself was become my amusement and never ceased to be novel. It was a drama of many scenes and without an end.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
