Famous quotes containing the words early and/or days:
“Yet, haply, in some lull of life,
Some Truce of God which breaks its strife,
The worldling’s eyes shall gather dew,
Dreaming in throngful city ways
Of winter joys his boyhood knew;
And dear and early friends—the few”
—John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)
“I was seven of the nine days out of the wonder before you
came.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
