Famous quotes containing the words education, early and/or life:

    “Strange as it may seem, no amount of learning can cure stupidity, and formal education positively fortifies it.”
    —Stephen Vizinczey (b. 1933)

    “The secret of heaven is kept from age to age. No imprudent, no sociable angel ever dropt an early syllable to answer the longings of saints, the fears of mortals. We should have listened on our knees to any favorite, who, by stricter obedience, had brought his thoughts into parallelism with the celestial currents, and could hint to human ears the scenery and circumstance of the newly parted soul.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
    Life is but an empty dream!—
    For the soul is dead that slumbers,
    And things are not what they seem.

    Life is real! Life is earnest!
    And the grave is not its goal;
    Dust thou art, to dust returnest,
    Was not spoken of the soul.”
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
