Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “A tranquil mind gives life to the flesh, but passion makes the bones rot.”
    —Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 14:30.

    “A native health and innocence
    Within my bones did grow,
    And while my God did all his glories show,
    I felt a vigour in my sense
    That was all spirit: I within did flow
    With seas of life like wine;
    I nothing in the world did know
    But ‘twas divine.”
    —Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)
