Famous quotes containing the words future, careers, lord and/or advocates:

    I am always glad to think that my education was, for the most part, informal, and had not the slightest reference to a future business career. It left me free and untrammeled to approach my business problems without the limiting influence of specific training.
    Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)

    So much of the trouble is because I am a woman. To me it seems a very terrible thing to be a woman. There is one crown which perhaps is worth it all—a great love, a quiet home, and children. We all know that is all that is worthwhile, and yet we must peg away, showing off our wares on the market if we have money, or manufacturing careers for ourselves if we haven’t.
    Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)

    Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.
    Bible: Hebrew Psalms, 116:15.

    In the Book of Common Prayer, the lines are rendered: “Right dear in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.” (Psalm 116:13)

    It is not when it is dangerous to tell the truth that its advocates are hardest to find, but when it is boring.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
