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

    “No doubt they rose up early to observe
    The rite of May.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Above the forest of the parakeets,
    A parakeet of parakeets prevails,
    A pip of life amid a mort of tails.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “How to attain sufficient clarity of thought to meet the terrifying issues now facing us, before it is too late, is ... important. Of one thing I feel reasonably sure: we can’t stop to discuss whether the table has or hasn’t legs when the house is burning down over our heads. Nor do the classics per se seem to furnish the kind of education which fits people to cope with a fast-changing civilization.”
    —Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
