Early Life
Garza Sada was born to Isaac Garza and Consuelo Sada. His father Isaac, together with his uncle and other entrepreneurs, founded the Cuauhtemoc Brewery, now Cuauhtémoc Moctezuma Brewery, in 1891.
In 1913, the Garza Sada family left Mexico for security reasons, as they had backed the reactonary interests of Victoriano Huerta during the Mexican Revolution. They settled in the United States. During those years they faced financial difficulties, as the Cuauhtemoc Brewery, their major source of income, was unprofitable during the Revolución. Garza Sada worked as an usher for a movie theater and as a salesman in a clothing store. He enrolled in Western Military Academy, a military school in Alton, Il., for high school. He studied civil engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, graduating in 1917.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“We are living now, not in the delicious intoxication induced by the early successes of science, but in a rather grisly morning-after, when it has become apparent that what triumphant science has done hitherto is to improve the means for achieving unimproved or actually deteriorated ends.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“Our life is not so much threatened as our perception. Ghostlike we glide through nature, and should not know our place again.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
