Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    Although good early childhood programs can benefit all children, they are not a quick fix for all of society’s ills—from crime in the streets to adolescent pregnancy, from school failure to unemployment. We must emphasize that good quality early childhood programs can help change the social and educational outcomes for many children, but they are not a panacea; they cannot ameliorate the effects of all harmful social and psychological environments.
    Barbara Bowman (20th century)

    No self in the mass: the braver being,
    The body that could never be wounded,
    The life that never would end, no matter
    Who died, the being that was an abstraction.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
