Famous quotes containing the words early and/or english:

    “The early Christian rules of life were not made to last, because the early Christians did not believe that the world itself was going to last.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    “Where dwells the religion? Tell me first where dwells electricity, or motion, or thought or gesture. They do not dwell or stay at all. Electricity cannot be made fast, mortared up and ended, like London Monument, or the Tower, so that you shall know where to find it, and keep it fixed, as the English do with their things, forevermore; it is passing, glancing, gesticular; it is a traveller, a newness, a surprise, a secret which perplexes them, and puts them out.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
