Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “Peasants are a rude lot, and hard: life has hardened their hearts, but they are thick and awkward only in appearance; you have to know them. No one is more sensitive to what gives man the right to call himself a man: good-heartedness, bravery and virile brotherhood.”
    —Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)

    “A man’s whole life is taxed for the least thing well done. It is its net result.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
