Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“The shift from the perception of the child as innocent to the perception of the child as competent has greatly increased the demands on contemporary children for maturity, for participating in competitive sports, for early academic achievement, and for protecting themselves against adults who might do them harm.

—David Elkind (20th century)
“The life of man is the true romance, which when it is valiantly conducted will yield the imagination a higher joy than any fiction.”
