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

    ... business training in early life should not be regarded solely as insurance against destitution in the case of an emergency. For from business experience women can gain, too, knowledge of the world and of human beings, which should be of immeasurable value to their marriage careers. Self-discipline, co-operation, adaptability, efficiency, economic management,—if she learns these in her business life she is liable for many less heartbreaks and disappointments in her married life.
    Hortense Odlum (1892–?)

    And early in the morning he came walking toward them on the sea.
    Bible: New Testament, Matthew 14:25.

    When he who adores thee has left but the name
    Of his fault and his sorrows behind,
    O! say wilt thou weep, when they darken the fame
    Of a life that for thee was resign’d!
    Thomas Moore (1779–1852)

    I’ve been in the twilight of my career longer than most people have had their career.
    Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
