Famous quotes containing the word career:
“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)

—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“I’ve been in the twilight of my career longer than most people have had their career.”
