Famous quotes containing the word life:

    I wage not any feud with Death
    For changes wrought on form and face;
    No lower life that earth’s embrace
    May breed with him can fright my faith.
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    For every life and every act
    Consequence of good and evil can be shown
    And as in time results of many deeds are blended
    So good and evil in the end become confounded.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    Continual success in obtaining those things which a man from time to time desireth, that is to say, continual prospering, is that men call FELICITY; I mean Felicity of this life. For there is no such thing as perpetual Tranquillity of mind, while we live here; because Life it self is but Motion, and can never be without Desire, nor without Faeroe, no more than without Sense.
    Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
