Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “Everything in life that we really accept undergoes a change. So suffering must become Love. That is the mystery.”
    —Katherine Mansfield (1888–1923)

    “The general review of the past tends to satisfy me with my political life. No man, I suppose, ever came up to his ideal. The first half [of] my political life was first to resist the increase of slavery and secondly to destroy it.... The second half of my political life has been to rebuild, and to get rid of the despotic and corrupting tendencies and the animosities of the war, and other legacies of slavery.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
