Famous quotes containing the words life and/or career:

    They sought it with thimbles, they sought it with care;
    They pursued it with forks and hope;
    They threatened its life with a railway-share
    They charmed it with smiles and soap.
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    Each of the professions means a prejudice. The necessity for a career forces every one to take sides. We live in the age of the overworked, and the under-educated; the age in which people are so industrious that they become absolutely stupid.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
