Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    I leave the governor’s office next week, and with it public life ... [which] has been on the whole a pleasant one. But for ten years and over my salaries have not equalled my expenses, and there has been a feeling of responsibility, a lack of independence, and a necessary neglect of my family and personal interests and comfort, which make the prospect of a change comfortable to think of.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    You have too much of a life yet before you, and have shown too much of promise as an officer, for your future to be lightly surrendered.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
