Famous quotes containing the word profession:

    “I am in the theatrical profession myself, my wife is in the theatrical profession, my children are in the theatrical profession. I had a dog that lived and died in it from a puppy; and my chaise-pony goes on, in Timour the Tartar.
    Charles Dickens (1812–1870)

    The profession I chose was politics; the profession I entered was the law. I entered the one because I thought it would lead to the other. It was once the same road; and Congress is [s]till full of lawyers.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    install me in any profession
    Save this damn’d profession of writing,
    where one needs one’s brains all the time.
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
