Famous quotes containing the words early and/or years:

    The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man’s abode; the snow melts before its door as early in the spring. I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there, and have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    till seven years were gane and past,
    True Thomas on earth was never seen.
    Unknown. Thomas the Rhymer (l. 79–80)
