Famous quotes containing the words early and/or years:
“Early rising is no pleasure; early drinking’s just the measure.”
—François Rabelais (1494–1553)
“Quintilian [educational writer in Rome around A.D. 100] thought that the earliest years of the child’s life were crucial. Education should start earlier than age seven, within the family. It should not be so hard as to give the child an aversion to learning. Rather, these early lessons would take the form of play—that embryonic notion of kindergarten.”
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
