Famous quotes containing the words early, life and/or education:
“Pray be always in motion. Early in the morning go and see things; and the rest of the day go and see people. If you stay but a week at a place, and that an insignificant one, see, however, all that is to be seen there; know as many people, and get into as many houses as ever you can.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (16941773)
“When I was in high school I thought a vocation was a particular calling. Heres a voice: Come, follow me. My idea of a calling now is not: Come. Its like what Im doing right now, not what Im going to be. Life is a calling.”
—Rebecca Sweeney (b. 1938)
“Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe.”
—H.G. (Herbert George)
