Life Underwriters

Famous quotes containing the words life and/or underwriters:

    We are all conceived in close prison; in our mothers’ wombs, we are close prisoners all; when we are born, we are born but to the liberty of the house; prisoners still, though within larger walls; and then all our life is but a going out to the place of execution, to death.
    John Donne (c. 1572–1631)

    There are more consequences to a shipwreck than the underwriters notice.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
