William Ewart Gladstone/early Life 1809-1840

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    ... business training in early life should not be regarded solely as insurance against destitution in the case of an emergency. For from business experience women can gain, too, knowledge of the world and of human beings, which should be of immeasurable value to their marriage careers. Self-discipline, co-operation, adaptability, efficiency, economic management,—if she learns these in her business life she is liable for many less heartbreaks and disappointments in her married life.
    Hortense Odlum (1892–?)

    My life has been one great big joke,
    A dance that’s walked
    A song that’s spoke,
    I laugh so hard I almost choke
    When I think about myself.
    Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
