Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man’s abode; the snow melts before its door as early in the spring. I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there, and have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    What if it should turn out eternity
    Was but the steeple on our house of life
    That made our house of life a house of worship?
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
