Famous quotes containing the words early and/or century:
“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)
“The sage does not hoard. Having bestowed all he has on others, he has yet more; Having given all he has to others, he is richer still.”
—Lao-Tzu (6th century B.C.)
