Begins

Famous quotes containing the word begins:

    The child does not begin to fall until she becomes seriously interested in walking, until she actually begins learning. Falling is thus more an indication of learning than a sign of failure.
    Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)

    Uneasy shifting resumes
    As sterilisers steam
    And the routine begins again
    Of putting questions to flesh
    That no one would think to ask
    But a Ph.D. with a beard....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    From the moment a child begins to speak, he is taught to respect the word; he is taught how to use the word and how not to use it. The word is all-powerful, because it can build a man up, but it can also tear him down. That’s how powerful it is. So a child is taught to use words tenderly and never against anyone; a child is told never to take anyone’s name or reputation in vain.
    Henry Old Coyote (20th century)
