Famous quotes containing the words early, business and/or career:
“Quintilian [educational writer in Rome around A.D. 100] thought that the earliest years of the child’s life were crucial. Education should start earlier than age seven, within the family. It should not be so hard as to give the child an aversion to learning. Rather, these early lessons would take the form of play—that embryonic notion of kindergarten.”

“Being good in business is the most fascinating kind of art.... Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art.”
