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

    “I don’t believe one grows older. I think that what happens early on in life is that at a certain age one stands still and stagnates.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “Yet they that know all things but know
    That all this life can give us is
    A child’s laughter, a woman’s kiss.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “It’s fairly obvious that American education is a cultural flop. Americans are not a well-educated people culturally, and their vocational education often has to be learned all over again after they leave school and college. On the other hand, they have open quick minds and if their education has little sharp positive value, it has not the stultifying effects of a more rigid training.”
    —Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
