Famous quotes containing the words minor, league, managing and/or career:
“If, for instance, they have heard something from the postman, they attribute it to “a semi-official statement”; if they have fallen into conversation with a stranger at a bar, they can conscientiously describe him as “a source that has hitherto proved unimpeachable.” It is only when the journalist is reporting a whim of his own, and one to which he attaches minor importance, that he defines it as the opinion of “well-informed circles.””
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
“Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
