Famous quotes containing the words early and/or match:

    “I taught school in the early days of my manhood and I think I know something about mothers. There is a thread of aspiration that runs strong in them. It is the fiber that has formed the most unselfish creatures who inhabit this earth. They want three things only; for their children to be fed, to be healthy, and to make the most of themselves.”
    —Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)

    “One fairer than my love! The all-seeing sun
    Ne’er saw her match since first the world begun.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
