Famous quotes containing the words political and/or career:

    The political horizon looks dark and lowering; but the people, under Providence, will set all right.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows what’s good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM. The institutional imprint furnishes him with pension, meaning, proofs of existence. A man without a company name is a man without a country.
    Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
