Famous quotes containing the words early and/or years:

    The girl must early be impressed with the idea that she is to be “a hand, not a mouth”; a worker, and not a drone, in the great hive of human activity. Like the boy, she must be taught to look forward to a life of self-dependence, and early prepare herself for some trade or profession.
    Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)

    The universe is finished; the copestone is on, and the chips were carried off a million years ago.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
