Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“To make life more bearable and pleasant for everybody, choose the issues that are significant enough to fight over, and ignore or use distraction for those you can let slide that day. Picking your battles will eliminate a number of conflicts, and yet will still leave you feeling in control.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
