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 the day and the night are such that you greet them with joy, and life emits a fragrance like flowers and sweet-scented herbs, is more elastic, more starry, more immortal—that is your success. All nature is your congratulation, and you have cause momentarily to bless yourself.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
