Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    And early in the morning he came walking toward them on the sea.
    Bible: New Testament, Matthew 14:25.

    There are two births: the one when light
    First strikes the new awakened sense;
    The other when two souls unite,
    And we must count our life from thence,
    When you loved me and I loved you,
    Then both of us were born anew.
    William Cartwright (1611–1643)
