Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

—The Lions Clubs International and the Quest Nation. The Surprising Years, I, ch.4 (1985)
“I feel a sincere wish indeed to see our government brought back to it’s republican principles, to see that kind of government firmly fixed, to which my whole life has been devoted. I hope we shall now see it so established, as that when I retire, it may be under full security that we are to continue free and happy.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
