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

    I may as well say, what all men feel, that whilst our every amiable and very innocent representatives and senators at Washington are accomplished lawyers and merchants, and every eloquent at dinners and at caucuses, there is a disastrous want of men in New England.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    I believe that if we are to survive as a planet, we must teach this next generation to handle their own conflicts assertively and nonviolently. If in their early years our children learn to listen to all sides of the story, use their heads and then their mouths, and come up with a plan and share, then, when they become our leaders, and some of them will, they will have the tools to handle global problems and conflict.
    Barbara Coloroso (20th century)

    For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
    —Bible: New Testament St. Paul, in Romans, 6:23.
