Famous quotes containing the word life:

    Holinesse on the head,
    Light and perfections on the breast,
    Harmonious bells below, raising the dead
    To leade them unto life and rest.
    Thus are true Aarons drest.
    George Herbert (1593–1633)

    I made up my mind long ago that life was too short to do anything for myself that I could pay others to do for me.
    W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1966)
