A Quote by Kenneth Clarke

All political careers are a rollercoaster. — © Kenneth Clarke
All political careers are a rollercoaster.
That 'Rollercoaster' album cover was very prophetic in its own way. My career has been a rollercoaster of highs and lows.
I love an arcade. I love a boardwalk game. But I also love a rollercoaster. Though I think the rollercoaster love comes from the fact that it took a really long time for me to reach the height requirement, so I promised myself very early on that when I reach that, I will not take it for granted.
All political careers end in failure, but few did it so quickly as David Cameron's. He came to power promising not to 'bang on about Europe' and ended up having the continent's name chiselled into the lid of his political coffin.
What a heap of ash most political careers amount to, when one really stops to consider them!
In their political careers, Obama and Biden faced down lobbyists, Tea Party carpetbaggers, and Washington gridlock.
We have to do everything we can to help students and adult learners to prepare for the careers of today as well as the careers of tomorrow.
I feel it is now my duty to speak to young women, to encourage them to have careers and, particularly, careers in science.
From a very early age, I made my decisions based on careers that I admire. The one thing that all the actresses I love have in common is that they have diversity in their careers.
The American people recognize that their careers or their kids' careers are going to have to be more dynamic. That they might not be working at a single plant for 30 years. That they might have to change careers. They might have to get more education. They might have to retool or retrain. And I think the American people are game for that.
There appears to be a disturbing trend in this nation to try to force single moms to choose between their children and their careers. If they take their careers seriously, they are labeled as bad mothers. If they spend time with their children, they are labeled as people who can't be serious about careers outside the home. This is a sexist double standard. No such guilt trip is imposed on men, who are generally not forced to choose between their children and their jobs.
In the entertainment industry, careers don't last very long - and online, careers last an even shorter amount of time.
I think we do need better training programs, we do need a way to get people from careers that are dead-end into new careers.
There are people who appear in the magazines and I don't know who they are. I've never seen anything they've done and their careers are over already. They're famous for maybe 10 minutes. Real careers, I think, take a long time to unfold.
My life's been a rollercoaster.
I was with - he wasn't the president then, but - Barack Obama, when he was running, in Washington, during Black Congressional Caucus Weekend, and did a panel about global warming with him. It was almost as if I switched careers for a while, and became a political activist.
Life is an emotional rollercoaster. It really is.
