Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    “Foolish prater, What dost thou
    So early at my window do?
    Cruel bird, thou’st ta’en away
    A dream out of my arms to-day;
    A dream that ne’er must equall’d be
    By all that waking eyes may see.
    Thou this damage to repair
    Nothing half so sweet and fair,
    Nothing half so good, canst bring,
    Tho’ men say thou bring’st the Spring.”
    —Abraham Cowley (1618–1667)

    “The bitter sea of life is boundless; if one but turns around, there’s the shore.”
    —Chinese proverb.
