Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    Three early risings make an extra day.
    Chinese proverb.

    when this life is from the body fled,
    To see it selfe in that eternall Glasse,
    Where time doth end, and thoughts accuse the dead,
    Where all to come, is one with all that was;
    Then living men aske how he left his breath,
    That while he lived never thought of death.
    Fulke Greville (1554–1628)
