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

    Erma Bombeck (20th century)

    Death is the end of life; ah, why
    Should life all labor be?
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    ... the whole tenour of female education ... tends to render the best disposed romantic and inconstant; and the remainder vain and mean.
    Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797)
