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

    “Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not; it is the first lesson that ought to be learned; and however early a man’s training begins, its probably the last lesson that he learns thoroughly.”
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    “I felt more than ever the necessity of my mission. But I went home out of spirits, I hardly know why. I must work by myself all life long.”
    —Elizabeth Blackwell (1821–1910)

    “The belief that all genuine education comes about through experience does not mean that all experiences are genuinely or equally educative.”
    —John Dewey (1859–1952)
