Famous quotes containing the word early:

    “To be candid, in Middlemarch phraseology, meant, to use an early opportunity of letting your friends know that you did not take a cheerful view of their capacity, their conduct, or their position; and a robust candour never waited to be asked for its opinion.”
    —George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
