Famous quotes containing the word life:

    Nothing in life possesses value except the degree of power—assuming that life itself is the will to power.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we’ll ever see on this earth!
