Famous quotes containing the word life:

    One might feel that, at my age, I should look on life with more gravity. After all, I’ve been privileged to listen, firsthand, to some of the most profound thinkers of my day ... who were all beset by gloom over the condition the world had gotten into. Then why can’t I view it with anything but amusement?
    Anita Loos (1894–1981)

    Among the smaller duties of life I hardly know any one more important than that of not praising where praise is not due.
    Sydney Smith (1771–1845)
