Quotes about Life Value

Heinrich Heine

Sleep is good, death is better; but of course, the best thing would to have never been born at all.

Abraham Lincoln

In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.

This quote is often misattributed to Abraham Lincoln. It has not been found in any of his writings. The use of a chiasmus (a rhetorical device reversing word order in successive clauses) is very uncharacteristic of Abraham Lincoln's speech or writing. Quote Investigator (QI) credits {Edward J. Stieglitz} as the originator (although its possible his advertising copywriter was the source).

Edward J. Stieglitz

In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.

Often misattributed to {Abraham Lincoln} - see [217068]. According to the Quote Investigator, this quote first appeared in Stieglitz's book "The Second Forty Years".

The shortness of life, so often lamented, may be the best thing about it.

John Galsworthy

… all experience tended to show that a man must die; and whether he died of a miserable old age in his own country, or prematurely of damp in the bottom of a foreign mine, was surely of little consequence, provided that by a change in his mode of life he benefited the British Empire.

The life of a dog - there's no equivalency with the life of a person, and if you are putting a dog in the line of danger to save human life, and they can do the job reasonably well, I mean, seriously, what about dignity and self-respect?
