Famous quotes containing the words future, careers, lord and/or advocates:

    A fixed image of the future is in the worst sense ahistorical.
    Juliet Mitchell (b. 1940)

    So much of the trouble is because I am a woman. To me it seems a very terrible thing to be a woman. There is one crown which perhaps is worth it all—a great love, a quiet home, and children. We all know that is all that is worthwhile, and yet we must peg away, showing off our wares on the market if we have money, or manufacturing careers for ourselves if we haven’t.
    Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)

    The Son of Man is lord of the sabbath.
    Bible: New Testament, Luke 6:5.

    Trial. A formal inquiry designed to prove and put upon record the blameless characters of judges, advocates and jurors.
    Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)
