Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    Very early in our children’s lives we will be forced to realize that the “perfect” untroubled life we’d like for them is just a fantasy. In daily living, tears and fights and doing things we don’t want to do are all part of our human ways of developing into adults.
    Fred Rogers (20th century)

    The life of the wealthy is one long Sunday.
    Georg Büchner (1813–1837)
