Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    It is not too much to say that next after the passion to learn there is no quality so indispensable to the successful prosecution of science as imagination. Find me a people whose early medicine is not mixed up with magic and incantations, and I will find you a people devoid of all scientific ability.
    Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)

    Come, my Way, my Truth, my Life:
    Such a Way as gives us breath:
    Such a Truth as ends all strife:
    Such a Life as killeth death.
    George Hebert (1593–1633)
