Famous quotes containing the word life:
“Our rural village life was a purifying, uplifting influence that fortified us against the later impacts of urbanization; Church and State, because they were separated and friendly, had spiritual and ethical standards that were mutually enriching; freedom and discipline, individualism and collectivity, nature and nurture in their interaction promised an ever stronger democracy.

—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)

—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
