Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “Had I but died an hour before this chance,
    I had lived a blessed time; for from this instant
    There’s nothing serious in mortality.
    All is but toys; renown and grace is dead,
    The wine of life is drawn, and the mere lees
    Is left this vault to brag of.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “What’s fame? A fancied life in others’ breath,”
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
