Famous quotes containing the words early and/or career:

    It is so very late that we
    May call it early by and by. Good night.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The 19-year-old Diana ... decided to make her career that of wife. Today that can be a very, very iffy line of work.... And what sometimes happens to the women who pursue it is the best argument imaginable for teaching girls that they should always be able to take care of themselves.
    Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
