Early Life
Garza Sada was born to Isaac Garza and Consuelo Sada. His father Isaac, together with his uncle and other entrepreneurs, founded the Cuauhtemoc Brewery, now Cuauhtémoc Moctezuma Brewery, in 1891.
In 1913, the Garza Sada family left Mexico for security reasons, as they had backed the reactonary interests of Victoriano Huerta during the Mexican Revolution. They settled in the United States. During those years they faced financial difficulties, as the Cuauhtemoc Brewery, their major source of income, was unprofitable during the Revolución. Garza Sada worked as an usher for a movie theater and as a salesman in a clothing store. He enrolled in Western Military Academy, a military school in Alton, Il., for high school. He studied civil engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, graduating in 1917.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“No two men see the world exactly alike, and different temperaments will apply in different ways a principle that they both acknowledge. The same man will, indeed, often see and judge the same things differently on different occasions: early convictions must give way to more mature ones. Nevertheless, may not the opinions that a man holds and expresses withstand all trials, if he only remains true to himself and others?”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“I never felt I could give up my life of freedom to become a man’s housekeeper. When I was young, if a girl married poverty, she became a drudge; if she married wealth, she became a doll. Had I married at twenty-one, I would have been either a drudge or a doll for fifty-five years. Think of it!”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
