Life Tenant

Famous quotes containing the words life and/or tenant:

    Only those who know the supremacy of the intellectual life ... can understand the grief of one who falls from that serene activity into the absorbing soul-wasting struggle with worldly annoyances.

    Having been tenant long to a rich Lord,
    Not thriving, I resolved to be bold,
    And make a suit unto him, to afford
    A new small-rented lease, and cancel th’ old.
