Famous quotes containing the words early, education, personal and/or life:
“With boys you always know where you stand. Right in the path of a hurricane. It’s all there. The fruit flies hovering over their waste can, the hamster trying to escape to cleaner air, the bedrooms decorated in Early Bus Station Restroom.”
—Erma Bombeck (20th century)
“The proper aim of education is to promote significant learning. Significant learning entails development. Development means successively asking broader and deeper questions of the relationship between oneself and the world. This is as true for first graders as graduate students, for fledging artists as graying accountants.”
—Laurent A. Daloz (20th century)
“Love is a scandal of the personal sort.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“I never read a novel, they have so little real life and thought in them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
