Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    “The girl must early be impressed with the idea that she is to be “a hand, not a mouth”; a worker, and not a drone, in the great hive of human activity. Like the boy, she must be taught to look forward to a life of self-dependence, and early prepare herself for some trade or profession.”
    —Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)

    “Thus was my first year’s life in the woods completed; and the second year was similar to it. I finally left Walden September 6th, 1847.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
