Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    “No doubt they rose up early to observe
    The rite of May.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “The great end of life is not knowledge, but action. What men need is as much knowledge as they can assimilate and organize into a basis for action; give them more and it may become injurious. One knows people who are as heavy and stupid from undigested learning as other are from over-fulness of meat and drink.”
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
