Famous quotes containing the words early and/or schools:

    “I don’t believe one grows older. I think that what happens early on in life is that at a certain age one stands still and stagnates.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “In America the taint of sectarianism lies broad upon the land. Not content with acknowledging the supremacy as the Diety, and with erecting temples in his honor, where all can bow down with reverence, the pride and vanity of human reason enter into and pollute our worship, and the houses that should be of God and for God, alone, where he is to be honored with submissive faith, are too often merely schools of metaphysical and useless distinctions. The nation is sectarian, rather than Christian.”
    —James Fenimore Cooper (1789–1851)
