Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    Picture the prince, such as most of them are today: a man ignorant of the law, well-nigh an enemy to his people’s advantage, while intent on his personal convenience, a dedicated voluptuary, a hater of learning, freedom and truth, without a thought for the interests of his country, and measuring everything in terms of his own profit and desires.
    Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)

    I smiled,
    I waited,
    I was circumspect;
    O never, never, never write that I
    missed life or loving.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
