Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    “Our instructed vagrancy, which has hardly time to linger by the hedgerows, but runs away early to the tropics, and is at home with palms and banyans—which is nourished on books of travel, and stretches the theatre of its imagination to the Zambesi.”
    —George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    “For every life and every act
    Consequence of good and evil can be shown
    And as in time results of many deeds are blended
    So good and evil in the end become confounded.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
