Jos%c3%a9 Serebrier/youth and Early Success

Famous quotes containing the words youth, early and/or success:

    If the quick fire of youth light not your mind,
    You are no maiden, but a monument.
    When you are dead, you should be such a one
    As you are now; for you are cold and stern.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    We can slide it
    Rapidly backwards and forwards: we call this
    Easing the spring. And rapidly backwards and forwards
    The early bees are assaulting and fumbling the flowers:
    They call it easing the Spring.
    Henry Reed (1914–1986)

    High on a throne of royal state, which far
    Outshone the wealth of Ormus and of Ind,
    Or where the gorgeous East with richest hand
    Show’rs on her kings barbaric pearl and gold,
    Satan exalted sat, by merit raised
    To that bad eminence; and, from despair
    Thus high uplifted beyond hope, aspires
    Beyond thus high, insatiate to pursue
    Vain war with Heav’n, and by success untaught,
    His proud imaginations
    John Milton (1608–1674)
