Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “There are only two sorts of people in life you can trust—good Christians and good Communists.”
    —Joe Slovo (b. 1926)

    “Had I but died an hour before this chance,
    I had lived a blessed time; for from this instant
    There’s nothing serious in mortality.
    All is but toys; renown and grace is dead,
    The wine of life is drawn, and the mere lees
    Is left this vault to brag of.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Your success story is a bigger story than whatever you’re trying to say on stage.... Success makes life easier. It doesn’t make living easier.”
