Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “I had this advantage, at least, in my mode of life, over those who were obliged to look abroad for amusement, to society and the theatre, that my life itself was become my amusement and never ceased to be novel. It was a drama of many scenes and without an end.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “A worthwhile person seeks not the easy life, for the easy life does not make a worthwhile person.”
    —Chinese proverb.
