“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.

—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
“The life of a wise man is most of all extemporaneous, for he lives out of an eternity which includes all time.”

“Dancing is a wonderful training for girls, it’s the first way you learn to guess what a man is going to do before he does it.”
