Answer 1

How about "The child is the father of the man." --William Wordsworth.

"My heart leaps up when I behold
A rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life began;
So is it now I am a man;
So be it when I shall grow old,
Or let me die!
The Child is father of the Man;
I could wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety. "

More broad, but still good:

"The past is but the beginning of a beginning, and all that is and has been is but the twilight of the dawn." --H.G. Wells
