Formal Event Held

Famous quotes containing the words formal, event and/or held:

“The conviction that the best way to prepare children for a harsh, rapidly changing world is to introduce formal instruction at an early age is wrong. There is simply no evidence to support it, and considerable evidence against it. Starting children early academically has not worked in the past and is not working now.”
—David Elkind (20th century)

“There is no event greater in life than the appearance of new persons about our hearth, except it be the progress of the character which draws them.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Victory comes late—
And is held low to freezing lips—
Too rapt with frost
To take it—”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
