Professions

Famous quotes containing the word professions:

    As for doing good, that is one of the professions which are full. Moreover, I have tried it fairly, and ... am satisfied that it does not agree with my constitution.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    But this place is too cold for hell. I’ll devil-porter it no further; I had thought to have let in some of all professions that go the primrose way to th’ everlasting bonfire.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Each of the professions means a prejudice. The necessity for a career forces every one to take sides. We live in the age of the overworked, and the under-educated; the age in which people are so industrious that they become absolutely stupid.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
