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)

    In foreign policy you have to wait twenty-five years to see how it comes out.
    James Reston (b. 1909)
