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

    “At the earliest ending of winter,
    In March, a scrawny cry from outside
    Seemed like a sound in his mind.
    He knew that he heard it,
    A bird’s cry, at daylight or before,
    In the early March wind.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “O life unlike to ours!
    Who fluctuate idly without term or scope,
    Of whom each strives, nor knows for what he strives,
    And each half lives a hundred different lives;
    Who wait like thee, but not, like thee, in hope.”
    —Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

    “Statecraft is soulcraft. Just as all education is moral education because learning conditions conduct, much legislation is moral legislation because it conditions the action and the thought of the nation in broad and important spheres of life.”
    —George F. Will (b. 1941)
