Quotes about Life
Oh! that the memories which survive us here Were half so lovely as these wings of thine! Pure relics of a blameless life, that shine Now thou art gone.
Life is too short to stuff a mushroom.
The fairest action of our human life Is scorning to revenge an injury; For who forgives without a further strife, His adversary's heart to him doth tie: And 'tis a firmer conquest, truly said, To win the heart than overthrow the head.

For what avail the plough or sail, Or land or life, if freedom fail?
I wish that every human life might be pure transparent freedom.
