Politics is a profession a serious complicated and in its true sense a noble one.
Politics is perhaps the only profession for which no preparation is thought necessary.
Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed there are many rewards if you disgrace yourself you can always write a book.
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.
But one does not make living writing poetry unless you're a professor and one frankly doesn't get a lot of girls as a poet.
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.
We read Robert Browning's poetry. Here we needed no guidance from the professor: the poems themselves were enough.
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 don't profess to have music as my big wheel and there are a number of other things as important to me apart from music. Theatre and mime for instance.
