Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    “We should seek by all means in our power to avoid war, by analysing possible causes, by trying to remove them, by discussion in a spirit of collaboration and good will. I cannot believe that such a programme would be rejected by the people of this country, even if it does mean the establishment of personal contact with the dictators.”
    —Neville Chamberlain (1869–1940)

    “Thy fate is the common fate of all;
    Into each life some rain must fall.”
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)
