Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    Early to bed, early to rise, work like hell and organize.
    Albert Gore, Jr. (b. 1948)

    The sensation of seeing extremely fine women, with superb forms, perfectly unconscious of undress, and yet evidently aware of their beauty and dignity, is worth a week’s seasickness to experience.... To me the effect [of a Siva dance] was that of a dozen Rembrandts intensified into the most glowing beauty of life and motion.
    Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
