Abundant Life

Famous quotes containing the words abundant and/or life:

    It was a flourishing tropic he required
    For his refreshment, an abundant zone,
    Prickly and obdurate, dense, harmonious,
    Yet with a harmony not rarefied
    Nor fined for the inhibited instruments
    Of over-civil stops.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    Life at its noblest leaves mere happiness far behind; and indeed cannnot endure it.... Happiness is not the object of life: life has no object: it is an end in itself; and courage consists in the readiness to sacrifice happiness for an intenser quality of life.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
