Famous quotes containing the word life:

    To my fancy, one looks back on life, it has only two responsibilities, which include all the others: one is the bringing of new life into existence; the other, educating it after it is brought in. All betrayals of trust result from these original sins.
    Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    The life of a wise man is most of all extemporaneous, for he lives out of an eternity which includes all time.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
