Famous quotes containing the words life and/or career:

    A life spent in making mistakes is not only more honorable but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    “Never hug and kiss your children! Mother love may make your children’s infancy unhappy and prevent them from pursuing a career or getting married!” That’s total hogwash, of course. But it shows on extreme example of what state-of-the-art “scientific” parenting was supposed to be in early twentieth-century America. After all, that was the heyday of efficiency experts, time-and-motion studies, and the like.
    Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
