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.
Life
Expectation postponed makes the heart sick, but a desire realized is a tree of life.
Solomon, Proverbs 13:12, NWT
Life
Rather than accept the fantastically small probability of life having arisen through the blind forces of nature, it seemed better to suppose that the origin of life was a deliberate intellectual act.
Fred Hoyle, cited in The Watchtower magazine, 1999, 6/15, article: The Creator Can Add Meaning to Your Life.
Life
Like pilgrims to th' appointed place we tend;
The World's an Inn, and Death the journey's end.
John Dryden, Palamon and Arcite, III. 887.
A study linking changes in plant and microbial ecosystems to environmental factors has highlighted how these ecosystems may alter in response to climate change.
