Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“I esteem it the happiness of this country that its settlers, whilst they were exploring their granted and natural rights and determining the power of the magistrate, were united by personal affection.

That, it may be, had danced her life away....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
