Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    In early times every sort of advantage tends to become a military advantage; such is the best way, then, to keep it alive. But the Jewish advantage never did so; beginning in religion, contrary to a thousand analogies, it remained religious. For that we care for them; from that have issued endless consequences.
    Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)

    Nominee. A modest gentleman shrinking from the distinction of private life and diligently seeking the honorable obscurity of public office.
    Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)
