Famous quotes containing the word life:

    You realize the futility of worry. You learn to hate the small and the little. Life is a pie which you cut in large slices, not grudgingly, not sparingly. You know your limitations and proceed to eliminate them; your abilities, and proceed to develop them. You are free.
    Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)

    Perhaps the happiest moment of my life was then, when I saw that our line didn’t break and that the enemy’s did.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    My love lies underground
    With her face upturned to mine,
    And her mouth unclosed in a last long kiss
    That ended her life and mine.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
