Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    “Men and women are not born inconstant: they are made so by their early amorous experiences.”
    —Andre Maurois (1885–1967)

    “The businessman who assumes that his life is everything, and the mystic who asserts that it is nothing, fail, on this side and on that, to hit the truth.... No; truth, being alive ... was only to be found by continuous excursions into either realm, and though proportion is the final secret, to espouse it at the outset is to ensure sterility.”
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)
