Famous quotes containing the word life:

    we are laid asleep
    In body, and become a living soul:
    While with an eye made quiet by the power
    Of harmony, and the deep power of joy,
    We see into the life of things.
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    And we wept that one so lovely should have a life so brief;
    William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878)

    For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake, and for the sake of the gospel, will save it.
