Famous quotes containing the words early and/or years:

    When lilacs last in the dooryard bloomed
    And the great star early drooped in the western sky in the night,
    I mourned, and yet shall mourn with ever-returning spring.
    Ever-returning spring, trinity sure to me you bring,
    Lilac blooming perennial and drooping star in the west,
    And thought of him I love.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    To be seventy years young is sometimes far more cheerful and hopeful than to be forty years old.
    Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
