Famous quotes containing the word life:

    The life of a man who deliberately runs through his fortune often becomes a business speculation; his friends, his pleasures, patrons, and acquaintances are his capital.
    Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)

    Mine honor is my life, both grow in one,
    Take honor from me, and my life is done.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Guilty, guilty, guilty is the chant divorced parents repeat in their heads. This constant reminder remains just below our consciousness. Nevertheless, its presence clouds our judgment, inhibits our actions, and interferes in our relationship with our children. Guilt is a major roadblock to building a new life for yourself and to being an effective parent.
    Stephanie Marston (20th century)
