Famous quotes containing the word life:
“Vacations prove that a life of pleasure is overrated.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“My prime of youth is but a frost of cares,
My feast of joy is but a dish of pain,
My crop of corn is but a field of tares,
And all my good is but vain hope of gain:
The day is past, and yet I saw no sun,
And now I live, and now my life is done.”
—Chidiock Tichborne (1558–1586)
