Famous quotes containing the words james, cagney, early and/or career:

    That reality is ‘independent’ means that there is something in every experience that escapes our arbitrary control. If it be a sensible experience it coerces our attention; if a sequence, we cannot invert it; if we compare two terms we can come to only one result. There is a push, an urgency, within our very experience, against which we are on the whole powerless, and which drives us in a direction that is the destiny of our belief.
    —William James (1842–1910)

    You dirty, double-crossing rat.
    —James Cagney (1899–1986)

    ...he came towards them early in the morning, walking on the sea.
    Bible: New Testament, Mark 6:48.

    In time your relatives will come to accept the idea that a career is as important to you as your family. Of course, in time the polar ice cap will melt.
    Barbara Dale (b. 1940)
