Life Peers

Famous quotes containing the words life and/or peers:

“When a man’s life is destroyed or damaged by some wound or privation of soul or body, which is due to other men’s actions or negligence, it is not only his sensibility that suffers but also his aspiration toward the good. Therefore there has been sacrilege towards that which is sacred in him.”

Unknown to fame, and choose your peers for friends.”
