Famous quotes containing the words life and/or career:
“The life of man is of no greater importance to the universe than that of an oyster.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows what’s good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM. The institutional imprint furnishes him with pension, meaning, proofs of existence. A man without a company name is a man without a country.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
