All I do really is go to work and try to be professional be on time and be prepared.

People of genius do not excel in any profession because they work in it they work in it because they excel.

A doctor must work eighteen hours a day and seven days a week. If you cannot console yourself to this get out of the profession.

To be a poet is a condition not a profession.

My decision to register women confirms what is already obvious throughout our society-that women are now providing all types of skills in every profession. The military should be no exception.

I fought all my life for women to make their own choices in their personal and professional lives. I made mine.

In love women are professionals men are amateurs.

Your law may be perfect your knowledge of human affairs may be such as to enable you to apply it with wisdom and skill and yet without individual acquaintance with men their haunts and habits the pursuit of the profession becomes difficult slow and expensive.

No wedding bells for me anymore. I've been happily married to my profession for years.

A professional soldier understands that war means killing people war means maiming people war means families left without fathers and mothers.

To win this war we need a commander in chief not a professor of law standing at the lectern.

I take work very seriously and telling the truth in my job and professionalism.

There are few things in which we deceive ourselves more than in the esteem we profess to entertain for our firends. It is little better than a piece of quackery. The truth is we think of them as we please that is as they please or displease us.

Live truth instead of professing it.

If I'd written all the truth I knew for the past ten years about 600 people - including me - would be rotting in prison cells from Rio to Seattle today. Absolute truth is a very rare and dangerous commodity in the context of professional journalism.

My biggest challenge is trust and really believing that trust in letting things just happen personally and professionally and trust with myself. But I'm getting better at it.

We can trust our doctors to be professional to minister equally to their patients without regard to their political or religious beliefs. But we can no longer trust our professors to do the same.

I trust it will not be giving away professional secrets to say that many readers would be surprised perhaps shocked at the questions which some newspaper editors will put to a defenseless woman under the guise of flattery.

You'd think experienced political professionals would know better than to place their trust in exit polls notoriously inaccurate surveys that had John Kerry winning the 2004 election by five points when he actually lost by three.

I grew up skateboarding it was fun. I didn't think about money I didn't know how much professional skateboarders made. I just knew that if I became a professional skateboarder I would achieve a lot and get to travel and do these great things.

Until the June 1967 war I was completely caught up in the life of a young professor of English. Beginning in 1968 I started to think write and travel as someone who felt himself to be directly involved in the renaissance of Palestinian life and politics.

I think travel is probably the downside of playing professional golf but you've got to do it.

It's very expensive to be a professional tennis player with all the travel and the flights and the hotels and everything.

Acting is a nice childish profession - pretending you're someone else and at the same time selling yourself.
