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

    “In an early spring
    We see th’appearing buds, which to prove fruit
    Hope gives not so much warrant, as despair
    That frosts will bite them.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “While you here do snoring lie,
    Open-eyed conspiracy
    His time doth take.
    If of life you keep a care,
    Shake off slumber, and beware.
    Awake, Awake!”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Infants and young children are not just sitting twiddling their thumbs, waiting for their parents to teach them to read and do math. They are expending a vast amount of time and effort in exploring and understanding their immediate world. Healthy education supports and encourages this spontaneous learning.”
    —David Elkind (20th century)
