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

    “Early education can only promise to help make the third and fourth and fifth years of life good ones. It cannot insure without fail that any tomorrow will be successful. Nothing “fixes” a child for life, no matter what happens next. But exciting, pleasing early experiences are seldom sloughed off. They go with the child, on into first grade, on into the child’s long life ahead.”
    —James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)

    “And we wept that one so lovely should have a life so brief;”
    —William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878)

    “I doubt whether classical education ever has been or can be successfully carried out without corporal punishment.”
    —George Orwell (1903–1950)
