Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    Children’s lives are not shaped solely by their families or immediate surroundings at large. That is why we must avoid the false dichotomy that says only government or only family is responsible. . . . Personal values and national policies must both play a role.
    Hillary Rodham Clinton (20th century)

    Age. That period of life in which we compound for the vices that remain by reviling those we have no longer the vigor to commit.
    Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)
