Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    Fine art is the subtlest, the most seductive, the most effective instrument of moral propaganda in the world, excepting only the example of personal conduct; and I waive even this exception in favor of the art of the stage, because it works by exhibiting examples of personal conduct made intelligible and moving to crowds of unobservant unreflecting people to whom real life means nothing.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    The minutes wing’d their way wi’ pleasure:
    Kings may be blest, but Tam was glorious,
    O’er a’ the ills o’ life victorious!
    Robert Burns (1759–1796)
