Famous quotes containing the word life:

    Throughout the history of commercial life nobody has ever quite liked the commission man. His function is too vague, his presence always seems one too many, his profit looks too easy, and even when you admit that he has a necessary function, you feel that this function is, as it were, a personification of something that in an ethical society would not need to exist. If people could deal with one another honestly, they would not need agents.
    Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)

    God wills a full life for us all,
    Loves us with tender care,
    Asks us to take the sacrifice
    Of broken life to share.
    Paul R. Gregory (20th century)

    Either life entails courage, or it ceases to be life.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)
