Famous quotes containing the word life:

    ... it is the greatest of all mistakes to begin life with the expectation that it is going to be easy, or with the wish to have it so.
    Lucy Larcom (1824–1893)

    I never felt I could give up my life of freedom to become a man’s housekeeper. When I was young, if a girl married poverty, she became a drudge; if she married wealth, she became a doll. Had I married at twenty-one, I would have been either a drudge or a doll for fifty-five years. Think of it!
    Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
