Famous quotes containing the words career and/or start:
“I began my editorial career with the presidency of Mr. Adams, and my principal object was to render his administration all the assistance in my power. I flattered myself with the hope of accompanying him through [his] voyage, and of partaking in a trifling degree, of the glory of the enterprise; but he suddenly tacked about, and I could follow him no longer. I therefore waited for the first opportunity to haul down my sails.”
—William Cobbett (1762–1835)
“I do not object to people looking at their watches when I am speaking. But I strongly object when they start shaking them to make certain they are still going.”
—William Norman, 1st Baron Of Ulverston Birkett (1883–1962)
