life quotes
- Each blade of grass has its spot on earth whence it draws its life, its strength; and so is man rooted to the land from which he draws his faith together with his life. (Joseph Conrad) [life/land/faith/life]
- Perhaps life is just that... a dream and a fear. (Joseph Conrad) [life/fear]
- There are men here and there to whom the whole of life is like an after-dinner hour with a cigar; easy, pleasant, empty, perhaps enlivened by some fable of strife to be forgotten -- before the end is told -- even if there happens to be any end to it. (Joseph Conrad) [men/life]
- Woe to the man whose heart has not learned while young to hope, to love -- and to put its trust in life. (Joseph Conrad) [love/trust/life]

- To fulfill a dream to be allowed to sweat over lonely labor, to be given a chance to create, is the meat and potatoes of life. The money is the gravy. (Bette Davis) [chance/life/money]

- Life is made of ever so many partings welded together. (Charles Dickens) [life]
- Dollars! All their cares, hopes, joys, affections, virtues, and associations seemed to be melted down into dollars. Whatever the chance contributions that fell into the slow cauldron of their talk, they made the gruel thick and slab with dollars. Men were weighed by their dollars, measures were gauged by their dollars; life was auctioned, appraised, put up, and knocked down for its dollars. The next respectable thing to dollars was any venture having their attainment for its end. The more of that worthless ballast, honor and fair-dealing, which any man cast overboard from the ship of his Good Nature and Good Intent, the more ample stowage-room he had for dollars. Make commerce one huge lie and mighty theft. Deface the banner of the nation for an idle rag; pollute it star by star; and cut out stripe by stripe as from the arm of a degraded soldier. Do anything for dollars! What is a flag to them! (Charles Dickens) [chance/men/life/thing]
- A man in public life expects to be sneered at -- it is the fault of his elevated situation, and not of himself. (Charles Dickens) [life/situation]

- Grief is the agony of an instant. The indulgence of grief the blunder of a life. (Benjamin Disraeli) [misfortune/misfortune/life]
- Had it not been for you, I should have remained what I was when we first met, a prejudiced, narrow-minded being, with contracted sympathies and false knowledge, wasting my life on obsolete trifles, and utterly insensible to the privilege of living in this wondrous age of change and progress. (Benjamin Disraeli) [being/knowledge/life/age]
- My objection to Liberalism is this -- that it is the introduction into the practical business of life of the highest kind -- namely, politics -- of philosophical ideas instead of political principles. (Benjamin Disraeli) [business/life/politics/]
