Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    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)

    Why not walk in the aura of magic that gives to the small things of life their uniqueness and importance? Why not befriend a toad today?
    Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
