Life

To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.

There is no wealth but life.

The thing I came for:

Thus let me live, unseen, unknown;

The Muse but served to ease some friend, not wife,

The fever called ‘Living’

All that we see or seem

Love set you going like a fat gold watch.

Mankind is a dream of a shadow.

Oh, life is a glorious cycle of song,

The secret of reaping the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment from life is to live dangerously

Life is a great surprise. I do not see why death should not be an even greater one.

Life is a foreign language: all men mispronounce it.

There is scarcely any less bother in the running of a family than in that of an entire state. And domestic business is no less importunate for being less important.

The value of life lies not in the length of days but in the use you make of them; he has lived for a long time who has little lived. Whether you have lived enough depends not on the number of your years but on your will.

I want death to find me planting my cabbages, but caring little for it, and even less about the imperfections of my garden.

One should always have one’s boots on, and be ready to leave.

We live, not as we wish to, but as we can.

A man’s dying is more the survivors’ affair than his own.

We come out of the dark and go into the dark again, and in between lie the experiences of our life.

Lives of great men all remind us

Life is real! Life is earnest!

Nothing, like something, happens anywhere.

What are days for?
