Famous quotes containing the words early, life and/or education:

    “Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not; it is the first lesson that ought to be learned; and however early a man’s training begins, its probably the last lesson that he learns thoroughly.”
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    “For life is but a dream whose shapes return,
    Some frequently, some seldom, some by night
    And some by day,”
    —James Thomson (1834–1882)

    “Casting an eye on the education of children, from whence I can make a judgment of my own, I observe they are instructed in religious matters before they can reason about them, and consequently that all such instruction is nothing else but filling the tender mind of a child with prejudices.”
    —George Berkeley (1685–1753)
