Famous quotes containing the word career:

—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“Like the old soldier of the ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty. Goodbye.”
—Douglas MacArthur (1880–1964)
“My ambition in life: to become successful enough to resume my career as a neurasthenic.”
