Famous quotes containing the word life:

    I began reviewing my life in relation to its objectives. I saw no objects, I saw only states.

    By the time we hit fifty, we have learned our hardest lessons. We have found out that only a few things are really important. We have learned to take life seriously, but never ourselves.
