Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    “I got a little secretarial job after college, but I thought of it as a prelude. Education, work, whatever you did before marriage, was only a prelude to your real life, which was marriage.”
    —Bonnie Carr (c. early 1930s)

    “To my fancy, one looks back on life, it has only two responsibilities, which include all the others: one is the bringing of new life into existence; the other, educating it after it is brought in. All betrayals of trust result from these original sins.”
    —Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
