Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“It is not too much to say that next after the passion to learn there is no quality so indispensable to the successful prosecution of science as imagination. Find me a people whose early medicine is not mixed up with magic and incantations, and I will find you a people devoid of all scientific ability.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
“I slept, and dreamed that life was Beauty;
I woke, and found that life was Duty.”
—Ellen Sturgis Hooper (1816–1841)
