Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    No two men see the world exactly alike, and different temperaments will apply in different ways a principle that they both acknowledge. The same man will, indeed, often see and judge the same things differently on different occasions: early convictions must give way to more mature ones. Nevertheless, may not the opinions that a man holds and expresses withstand all trials, if he only remains true to himself and others?
    Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    We have almost succeeded in leveling all human activities to the common denominator of securing the necessities of life and providing for their abundance.
    Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
