Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    We of this Congress and this administration, will be remembered in spite of ourselves. No personal significance, or insignificance, can spare one or another of us.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    One idea is enough to organize a life and project it
    Into unusual but viable forms, but many ideas merely
    Lead one thither into a morass of their own good intentions.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
