Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“It is not too much to say that next after the passion to learn there is no quality so indispensable to the successful prosecution of science as imagination. Find me a people whose early medicine is not mixed up with magic and incantations, and I will find you a people devoid of all scientific ability.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
“Why should men love the Church? Why should they love her laws?
She tells them of Life and Death, and of all that they would forget.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
