Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    As I went forth early on a still and frosty morning, the trees looked like airy creatures of darkness caught napping; on this side huddled together, with their gray hairs streaming, in a secluded valley which the sun had not penetrated; on that, hurrying off in Indian file along some watercourse, while the shrubs and grasses, like elves and fairies of the night, sought to hide their diminished heads in the snow.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    What if it should turn out eternity
    Was but the steeple on our house of life
    That made our house of life a house of worship?
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
