Famous quotes containing the words early, life and/or education:
“At the earliest ending of winter,
In March, a scrawny cry from outside
Seemed like a sound in his mind.
He knew that he heard it,
A bird’s cry, at daylight or before,
In the early March wind.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

There is no life that is not in community,”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“Those who first introduced compulsory education into American life knew exactly why children should go to school and learn to read: to save their souls....

—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
