Life
Life is a characteristic that distinguishes physical entities that do have biological processes, such as signaling and self-sustaining processes, from those that do not, either because such functions have ceased, or because they never had such functions and are classified as inanimate. Various forms of life exist, such as plants, animals, fungi, protists, archaea, and bacteria. The criteria can at times be ambiguous and may or may not define viruses, viroids, or potential synthetic life as "living". Biology is the science concerned with the study of life.
Quality
That air and harmony of shape express,
Fine by degrees, and beautifully less.
Matthew Prior, Henry and Emma, line 432. reported in Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical Quotations (1922), p. 653.
Quality
To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts. Every man is tasked to make his life, even in its details, worthy of the contemplation of his most elevated and critical hour.
Henry David Thoreau, The Writings of Henry David Thoreau, vol. 2, p. 100, Houghton Mifflin (1906).
Life
Vita, si scias uti, longa est.
Life, if thou knowest how to use it, is long enough.
Seneca the Younger, De Brevitate Vitæ, II.
