Most of us readily take things for granted that at an earlier time remained to be discovered.
Robert A. Dahl

My earlier award was also based on a close collaborative effort.
John Bardeen

My earlier poems were sadder than my poems are today, perhaps because I wrote them in confusion or when I was unhappy. But I am not a melancholy person, quite the contrary, no one enjoys laughing more than I do.
Anne Stevenson

My father was a sea captain, so was his father, and his father before him, and all my uncles. My mother's people all followed the sea. I suppose that if I had been born a few years earlier, I would have had my own ship.
Joseph C. Lincoln

My favorite book is the last one printed, which is always better than those that were published earlier.
Stephen Ambrose

Nigel might have an earlier date, but I think it's unprecedented from my memory. So it is a reminder to everybody that the public can move very rapidly on some issues and therefore what looks settled may not be.
Jim Bolger

Of course, in later years, I'd studied acting more than ever before - mostly with the late Stella Adler, who was marvelous! - but in my earlier years, I couldn't afford to do this.
Marie Windsor

On almost anything someone does in the computer business, you can go back in the literature and prove someone had done it earlier.
Ken Olsen

Carroll Quigley

One can measure the importance of a scientific work by the number of earlier publications rendered superfluous by it.
David Hilbert

One important measurement issue concerns the fat tails problem that I mentioned earlier. VAR is concerned with extreme outcomes. If the tails of the probability distributions we are using are too thin, our VAR measures are likely to be too low.
John Hull

Pocahontas was the reason the Virginia colony didn't disappear, unlike some earlier attempts.
Brooks Robinson

Quentin and I were constantly finding something new that we had in common and comic books were one of them. I think we were talking about comic books much earlier in our relationship, before I had the part.
David Carradine

Research clearly shows us that the earlier women think about maintaining their bone mass and take the steps to do so, the better their health will be in the long run.
Lois Capps

Since the end of the nineteenth century, if not earlier, presidents have misled the public about their motives and their intentions in going to war.
Robert Higgs

So people will come along and do new things and sometimes return to the spirit of an earlier age.
Norman McLaren

So they've actually - it's not that her character is a singer, but she had ambition to do that at an earlier time in her life. So I've actually sung two or three times now on the show.
Katey Sagal

Someone earlier made a remark about losing 500 soldiers and 2,200 wounded in Iraq. Those soldiers were sent there by the vote of Sen. Lieberman, Sen. Edwards and Sen. Kerry. I think that is a serious matter.
Howard Dean

Speed is often confused with insight. When I start running earlier than the others, I appear faster.
Johan Cruijff
