Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    We early arrive at the great discovery that there is one mind common to all individual men: that what is individual is less than what is universal ... that error, vice and disease have their seat in the superficial or individual nature.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    ... scepticism ... can never be thoroughly applied, else life would come to a standstill ...
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
