Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    “At the earliest ending of winter,
    In March, a scrawny cry from outside
    Seemed like a sound in his mind.
    He knew that he heard it,
    A bird’s cry, at daylight or before,
    In the early March wind.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “Among the smaller duties of life I hardly know any one more important than that of not praising where praise is not due.”
    —Sydney Smith (1771–1845)
