Famous quotes containing the words life and/or work:

    When he who adores thee has left but the name
    Of his fault and his sorrows behind,
    O! say wilt thou weep, when they darken the fame
    Of a life that for thee was resign’d!
    Thomas Moore (1779–1852)

    My mother and father are the only people on the whole planet for whom I will never begrudge a thing. Should I achieve great things, it is the work of their hands; they are splendid people and their absolute love of their children places them above the highest praise. It cloaks all of their shortcomings, shortcomings that may have resulted from a difficult life.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
