Origin
The early uses of this phrase date from the mid 18th century. For example, Joseph Baretti's A Grammar of the Italian Language, 1762, translates "Cosi va'l mondo!" as "Such is life" and continues:
"Such is life, that whatever is proposed, it is much easier to find reasons for rejecting than embracing."
'Such is life', of course, mirrors the French 'C'est la vie', which equates to the English 'that's life', or 'life's like that'. Modern variants are 'that's the way it goes', 'that's the way the ball bounces', 'that's the way the cookie crumbles' etc.

It was the last 3 words that our most famous/infamous Australian Bushranger "Ned Kelly" spoke before he was hung.
"Such is life"
You have probably heard of it being Ben Cousins tattoo across his stomach?

Why are you so upset about this? I have never heard that quote used before, so I hope that makes you feel better. But frankly... it makes no difference to me whether Bush actually said that or not. What I do find interesting about this, is the fact that Bush has effectively been tying to trash the constitution ever since he's been in office. (e.g. Patriot Act, Signing Statements, etc. etc.) Since actions speak louder than words... whether he actually said that or not, is kind of irrelevant. There is plenty of evidence out there with Bush's own signature all over it, to suggest that upholding the constitution has been the least of his priorities.

Ned Kelly said it just as he was about to be hanged back in the 1800's.
BTW Ned Kelly was a infamous bushranger in Australia.

The Australian bushranger Ned Kelly used those words just as they were about to pull the lever that swung the trap door open when they hung him ~~
