- quote by Albert Barnes
Who breathes must suffer; and who thinks, must mourn; And he alone is bless'd who ne'er was born.
- quote by Matthew Prior
Who but knows How it goes! Life's a last year's Nightingale, Love's a last year's rose.
- quote by William Ernest Henley
Whose life is a bubble, and in length a span.
- quote by William Browne
Wile some no other cause for life can give But a dull habitude to live.
- quote by John Oldham
With aching hands and bleeding feet We dig and heap, lay stone on stone; We bear the burden and the heat Of the long day, and wish 'twere done. Not till the hours of light return All we have built do we discern.
- quote by Matthew Arnold
Wouldst thou wisely, and with pleasure, Pass the days of life's short measure, From the slow one counsel take, But a tool of him ne'er make; Ne'er as friend the swift one know, Nor the constant one as foe.
- quote by Friedrich Schiller
Yes, this is life; and everywhere we meet, Not victor crowns, but wailings of defeat.
- quote by Elizabeth Oakes Smith
Yet I know that I dwell in the midst of the roar of the Cosmic Wheel In the hot collision of Forces, and the clangor of boundless Strife, Mid the sound of the speed of worlds, the rushing worlds, and the peal the thunder of Life.
- quote by William Watson
Yet many human beings, resigned to sensuality and indolence, un-instructed and unimproved, have passed through life like travellers in a strange country.
- quote by Sallust
