Famous quotes containing the word life:
“Still we live meanly, like ants; though the fable tells us that we were long ago changed into men; like pygmies we fight with cranes; it is error upon error, and clout upon clout, and our best virtue has for its occasion a superfluous and evitable wretchedness. Our life is frittered away by detail.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare?”
—William Henry Davies (1871–1940)
