Famous quotes containing the words senior, men, professional and/or golf:

    “Never burn bridges. Today’s junior prick, tomorrow’s senior partner.”
    —Kevin Wade, U.S. screenwriter, and Mike Nichols. Katharine Parker (Sigourney Weaver)

    “Towards him they bend
    With awful reverence prone; and as a God
    Extoll him equal to the highest in Heav’n:
    Nor fail’d they to express how much they prais’d,
    That for the general safety he despis’d
    His own: for neither do the Spirits damn’d
    Loose all thir vertue; lest bad men should boast
    Thir specious deeds on earth, which glory excites,
    Or close ambition varnisht o’er with zeal.”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    “Many young girls are ... becoming trained nurses, whose gentle ministrations in the sick-room, skilled touch, patient watchfulness and unwearied vigils, are as great factors in the care of the sick, as are the professional physicians.”
    —Lydia Hoyt Farmer (1842–1903)

    “If there is any larceny in a man, golf will bring it out.”
    —Paul Gallico (1897–1976)
