Early to bed and early to rise
Make a man healthy and wealth and wise.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The education of females has been exclusively directed to fit them for displaying to advantage the charms of youth and beauty. ... though well to decorate the blossom, it is far better to prepare for the harvest.”
