Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

Members of a church before whose searching covenant all rank was abolished, they stood in awe of each other, as religious men.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“There is no event greater in life than the appearance of new persons about our hearth, except it be the progress of the character which draws them.”
