Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “What is the life of man! Is it not to shift from side to side?—from sorrow to sorrow?—to button up one cause of vexation!—and unbutton another!”
    —Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

    “The true picture of life as it is, if it could be adequately painted, would show men what they are, and how they might rise, not, indeed to perfection, but one step first, and then another on the ladder.”
    —Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
