Famous quotes containing the words athletic and/or career:
“The only athletic sport I ever mastered was backgammon.”
—Douglas Jerrold (1803–1857)
““Never hug and kiss your children! Mother love may make your children’s infancy unhappy and prevent them from pursuing a career or getting married!” That’s total hogwash, of course. But it shows on extreme example of what state-of-the-art “scientific” parenting was supposed to be in early twentieth-century America.

—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
