Famous quotes containing the words early, life and/or education:
“On the Coast of Coromandel
Where the early pumpkins blow,
In the middle of the woods
Lived the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo.
Two old chairs, and half a candle,—
One old jug without a handle,—
These were all his worldly goods:
In the middle of the woods,”
—Edward Lear (1812–1888)

The more obvious it becomes that I am lacking in thrift.”
—Ogden Nash (1902–1971)
“Strange as it may seem, no amount of learning can cure stupidity, and formal education positively fortifies it.”
