Famous quotes containing the words early and/or news:
“I taught school in the early days of my manhood and I think I know something about mothers. There is a thread of aspiration that runs strong in them. It is the fiber that has formed the most unselfish creatures who inhabit this earth. They want three things only; for their children to be fed, to be healthy, and to make the most of themselves.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“I have a piece of great and sad news to tell you: I am dead.”
—Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)
