Famous quotes containing the words life and/or work:

    From too much love of living,
    From hope and fear set free,
    We thank with brief thanksgiving
    Whatever gods may be
    That no life lives for ever;
    That dead men rise up never;
    That even the weariest river
    Winds somewhere safe to sea.
    —A.C. (Algernon Charles)

    Grandiosity lessens as work proceeds.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
