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)
“They who in trouble untroubled are
Will trouble trouble itself.”
—Tiruvalluvar (c. 5th century A.D.)
