Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    And early in the morning he came walking toward them on the sea.
    Bible: New Testament, Matthew 14:25.

    If youth is the period of hero-worship, so also is it true that hero-worship, more than anything else, perhaps, gives one the sense of youth. To admire, to expand one’s self, to forget the rut, to have a sense of newness and life and hope, is to feel young at any time of life.
    Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
