Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    “If society gives up the right to impose the death penalty, then self help will appear again and personal vendettas will be around the corner.”
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    “They borrow words for thoughts they cannot feel,
    That with a seeming heart their tongue may speak;
    And in their show of life more dead they live
    Than those that to the earth with many tears they give.”
