Books constitute capital. A library book lasts as long as a house, for hundreds of years. It is not, then, an article of mere consumption but fairly of capital, and often in the case of professional men, setting out in life, it is their only capital.
Thomas Jefferson
I recently went to a new doctor and noticed he was located in something called the Professional Building. I felt better right away.
George Carlin
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.
Hunter S. Thompson
A professional writer is an amateur who didn't quit.
Richard Bach
You have to perform at a consistently higher level than others. That's the mark of a true professional.
Joe Paterno
Professional men, they have no cares; whatever happens, they get theirs.
Ogden Nash
The word user is the word used by the computer professional when they mean idiot.
Dave Barry
Professional reviewers read so many bad books in the course of duty that they get an unhealthy craving for arresting phrases.
Evelyn Waugh
I enjoy the work, I enjoy every minute of my professional life.
Jose Mourinho
My professional life has been a constant record of disillusion, and many things that seem wonderful to most men are the every-day commonplaces of my business.
Harry Houdini
I do not regret one professional enemy I have made. Any actor who doesn't dare to make an enemy should get out of the business.
Bette Davis
I had pro offers from the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers, who were pretty hard up for linemen in those days. If I had gone into professional football the name Jerry Ford might have been a household word today.
Gerald R. Ford
So I had to be careful. I recognized the responsibility that, whether I liked it or not, I had to accept whatever the obligation was. That was to behave in a manner, to carry myself in such a professional way, as if there ever is a reflection, it's a positive one.
Sidney Poitier
A poet is a professional maker of verbal objects.
W. H. Auden
Nothing is more despicable than a professional talker who uses his words as a quack uses his remedies.
Francois Fenelon
So much of a professional athlete's success depends upon not necessarily the play itself but how he deals with... always saying how you deal with good, is just as important as how you deal with bad.
Brett Favre
The major championships have always been a special focus in my career, and as a professional, I think Augusta is where I need to be.
Tiger Woods
In therapy I have learned the importance of keeping spiritual life and professional life balanced. I need to regain my balance.
Tiger Woods
In my early professional years I was asking the question: How can I treat, or cure, or change this person? Now I would phrase the question in this way: How can I provide a relationship which this person may use for his own personal growth?
Carl Rogers
Good critical writing is measured by the perception and evaluation of the subject; bad critical writing by the necessity of maintaining the professional standing of the critic.
Raymond Chandler
