Quotations regarding 'Profession'

Choose a letter: 
I am impelled, not to squeak like a grateful and apologetic mouse, but to roar like a lion out of pride in my profession.
John Steinbeck, American Author (1902-1968)
Politics is perhaps the only profession for which no preparation is thought necessary.
Robert Louis Stevenson, Scottish Writer (1850-1894)
Law is not a profession at all, but rather a business service station and repair shop.
Adlai E. Stevenson, American Politician (1900-1965)
The knights of the theater represented to me not only the pinnacle of the profession but the esteem in which the profession was held. To find myself, to my astonishment, in that company is the grandest thing that has professionally happened to me.
Patrick Stewart, English Actor (1940-  )
That's one great thing about my profession, traveling to locations.
Dean Stockwell, American Actor (1936-  )
The dirty little secret of journalism is that it really isn't a profession, it's a craft. All you need is a telephone and a conscience and you're all set.
Andrew Sullivan, American Journalist (1963-  )
I am a very lucky man. I am living my life with my hobby as my profession.
Jim Sullivan, English Musician (1941-  )
One of the big draws of the show is here's a guy who is ordinary in a lot of ways but, due to his profession, he's placed in extraordinary situations that he has to make right with action and with thought. That's what is appealing about Jack - he takes charge.
Kiefer Sutherland, Canadian Actor (1966-  )
There's lots of interesting jobs in the profession besides acting, and I like to try and keep an eye on and understand other people's jobs, rather than just my own.
Sarah Sutton, British Actress (1961-  )
I'll be damned if I am not getting tired of this. It seems to be the profession of a President simply to hear other people talk.
William Howard Taft, American President (1857-1930)
Journalism is not just a cause, it's also a wacky profession.
David Talbot, American Journalist
It was not until I had graduated from college that I made a professional commitment to it. Frankly, I didn't think it wise. I was my own interior parental force, and it's very difficult to justify a profession as a dancer.
Twyla Tharp, American Dancer (1941-  )
Being a conductor is kind of a hybrid profession because most fundamentally, it is being someone who is a coach, a trainer, an editor, a director.
Michael Tilson Thomas, American Musician (1944-  )
Modeling is a profession where your worth is tied up with looks.
Christy Turlington, American Model (1969-  )
The older one gets in this profession, the more people there are with whom one would never work again.
Liv Ullmann, Norwegian Actress (1938-  )
My profession is called record production.
Tony Visconti, American Musician (1944-  )
A life spent largely among books, and in the exercise of a literary profession, has very obvious drawbacks, as a subject-matter, when one comes to write about it.
Mary A. Ward, -
In any profession it gets to be a grind.
Denzel Washington, American Actor (1954-  )
Do not hover always on the surface of things, nor take up suddenly with mere appearances; but penetrate into the depth of matters, as far as your time and circumstances allow, especially in those things which relate to your profession.
Isaac Watts, English Politician (1674-1748)
But quality of work can be expected only through personal satisfaction, dedication and enjoyment. In our profession, precision and perfection are not a dispensible luxury, but a simple necessity.
Niklaus Wirth, Swiss Scientist (1934-  )
