Famous quotes containing the words life and/or career:
“That which resembles most living ones life over again, seems to be to recall all the circumstances of it; and, to render this remembrance more durable, to record them in writing.”

“I began my editorial career with the presidency of Mr. Adams, and my principal object was to render his administration all the assistance in my power. I flattered myself with the hope of accompanying him through [his] voyage, and of partaking in a trifling degree, of the glory of the enterprise; but he suddenly tacked about, and I could follow him no longer. I therefore waited for the first opportunity to haul down my sails.”
—William Cobbett (17621835)
