Famous quotes containing the words early and/or years:

    “Early to bed, early to rise, work like hell and organize.”
    —Albert Gore, Jr. (b. 1948)

    “There’s something like a line of gold thread running through a man’s words when he talks to his daughter, and gradually over the years it gets to be long enough for you pick up in your hands and weave into a cloth that feels like love itself. It’s another thing, though, to hold up that cloth for inspection.”
    —John Gregory Brown (20th century)
