Politics I supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first.

It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first.

Poetry isn't a profession it's a way of life. It's an empty basket you put your life into it and make something out of that.

Unfortunately the world is what it is now. People don't get along for whatever reason. As professional athletes in a way we're almost ambassadors for peace because sports brings everyone together.

Although a soldier by profession I have never felt any sort of fondness for war and I have never advocated it except as a means of peace.

I don't want to see the military falling. I want to see the military rising to dignified heights of professionalism and true patriotism.

Is human nature basically good or evil? No economist can embark upon his profession without considering this question and yet they all seem to. And they all seem to think human nature is basically good or they wouldn't be surprised by the effects of deregulation.

To become an able and successful man in any profession three things are necessary nature study and practice.

Music will always be my No. 1 passion but I don't have to be doing it professionally. It's not really about that for me anymore. I feel like I don't have to look at it as a career. I can just rest in it and just be.

Music is my life professionally for nearly 60 years. To be recognized by the academy is still the highest honor.

I'm not suggesting people abandon musical instruments and start playing their cars and apartments but I do think the reign of music as a commodity made only by professionals might be winding down.

I've had the good fortune to have a much more diverse life than most people would professional sports and television and news and movies.

I was a total athlete. I loved sports but when I realized I wasn't going to be a professional athlete I realized I wanted to be in movies.

Writing is the only profession where no one considers you ridiculous if you earn no money.

Money isn't a major motivating force in my life. Nor is my profession. There are other things that I care more about than being an actor.

Money is not a motivating factor. Money doesn't thrill me or make me play better because there are benefits to being wealthy. I'm just happy with a ball at my feet. My motivation comes from playing the game I love. If I wasn't paid to be a professional footballer I would willingly play for nothing.

My mom was a teacher - I have the greatest respect for the profession - we need great teachers - not poor or mediocre ones.

I love being a woman and I was not one of these women who rose through professional life by wearing men's clothes or looking masculine. I loved wearing bright colors and being who I am.

The integrity of men is to be measured by their conduct not by their professions.

Almost all the noblest things that have been achieved in the world have been achieved by poor men poor scholars poor professional men poor artisans and artists poor philosophers poets and men of genius.

There are three subjects on which the knowledge of the medical profession in general is woefully weak they are manners morals and medicine.

Drug abuse is a medical disease that requires medical professionals.

As a former professional patient advocate I believe prescription drugs are an essential part of high-quality medical treatment and I supported enactment of the Medicare Prescription Drug and Modernization Act.

Oh there are lots of doctors and medical professionals out there who buy my devices at whole sale price.
