Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    Early rising is no pleasure; early drinking’s just the measure.
    François Rabelais (1494–1553)

    One of the fundamental reasons why so many doctors become cynical and disillusioned is precisely because, when the abstract idealism has worn thin, they are uncertain about the value of the actual lives of the patients they are treating. This is not because they are callous or personally inhuman: it is because they live in and accept a society which is incapable of knowing what a human life is worth.
    John Berger (b. 1926)
