Famous quotes containing the words early and/or years:

    “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)

    “Twenty years a child; twenty years running wild; twenty years a mature man—and after that, praying.”
    —Irish proverb.
