Famous quotes containing the word years:

    If we focus exclusively on teaching our children to read, write, spell, and count in their first years of life, we turn our homes into extensions of school and turn bringing up a child into an exercise in curriculum development. We should be parents first and teachers of academic skills second.
    Neil Kurshan (20th century)

    He worked for twenty years to get his contemporaries to believe—and in the end he succeeded. Meanwhile, however, his adversaries also succeeded: he could no longer believe in himself.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
