Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    The lover never sees personal resemblances in his mistress to her kindred or to others. His friends find in her a likeness to her mother, or her sisters, or to persons not of her blood. The lover sees no resemblance except to summer evenings and diamond mornings, to rainbows and the song of birds.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The further through life I drift
    The more obvious it becomes that I am lacking in thrift.
    Ogden Nash (1902–1971)
