Early Church

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or church:

    Today’s pressures on middle-class children to grow up fast begin in early childhood. Chief among them is the pressure for early intellectual attainment, deriving from a changed perception of precocity. Several decades ago precocity was looked upon with great suspicion. The child prodigy, it was thought, turned out to be a neurotic adult; thus the phrase “early ripe, early rot!”
    David Elkind (20th century)

    The Church must be forever building, for it is forever decaying within and attacked from without....
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
