Famous quotes containing the words early, life and/or background:
“Although good early childhood programs can benefit all children, they are not a quick fix for all of society’s ills—from crime in the streets to adolescent pregnancy, from school failure to unemployment. We must emphasize that good quality early childhood programs can help change the social and educational outcomes for many children, but they are not a panacea; they cannot ameliorate the effects of all harmful social and psychological environments.”
—Barbara Bowman (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.”

“... every experience in life enriches one’s background and should teach valuable lessons.”
