The Country Life.
Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919)
“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”
“From what we get, we can make a living. What we give; however, makes a life.”
“The more we live with what we imagine others think of us, the less we live with truth.”

“What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult to each other?”
Middlemarch (1871)
Context: What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult to each other? I cannot be indifferent to the troubles of a man who advised me in my trouble, and attended me in my illness.
Original German: Man könnte den ganzen Sinn des Buches etwa in die Worte fassen: Was sich überhaupt sagen lässt, lässt sich klar sagen; und wovon man nicht reden kann, darüber muss man schweigen.
