I was showing early symptoms of becoming a professional baseball man. I was lying to the press.

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.

As I get older I think contrary to modern assumption but in line with the old Lerner and Lowe song that it would actually benefit both them and society if - to quote Professor Higgins - a woman could be more like a man.

We need to tap the resource of current and retiring science and math professionals that have both content mastery and the practical experience to serve as effective teachers.

My parents divorced when I was born and my mother is a political science professor like a feminist Mormon which is sort of an oxymoron.

I'm an amateur science enthusiast. I'm not even a professional enthusiast. I don't know anything I never even passed biology in high school. But I read the science section of the newspaper.

Here in the United States our profession is much maligned people simply don't trust or like journalists anymore and that's sad.

I got into acting because my teachers kept nudging me into it. The power a teacher has to influence someone is so great. I can't think of a profession I have more respect for.

Because of my tremendous respect for Bob Barker and for the show's high standards of professionalism I consider this a tremendous honor that few announcers have ever been treated to. Both Rod's and Johnny's shoes are huge I can't think about filling them.

The Epistle is a correction of profession without life and most valuable in this respect.

A blank wall of social and professional antagonism faces the woman physician that forms a situation of singular and painful loneliness leaving her without support respect or professional counsel.

In science a healthy skepticism is a professional necessity whereas in religion having belief without evidence is regarded as a virtue.

I like to say magic is the world's second oldest profession a mystical and often awe-inspiring spectacle that throughout the ages has blended superstition trickery and religion.

More than this even in those white men who professed religion we found much inconsistency of conduct. They spoke much of spiritual things while seeking only the material.

At first we got along real well. Now... it's pretty much just a professional relationship.

Nothing reinforces a professional relationship more than enjoying success with someone.

There is a glaring reason that the necessary total ban on nontherapeutic use of antibiotics hasn't happened: The factory farm industry allied with the pharmaceutical industry has more power than public-health professionals.

There are so many little girls who follow me and look up to me. I'm their role model so I have to make sure I'm always being professional and not putting any swear words out there - just really putting positive things out there on the Internet.

Since turning professional at 18 I have travelled the world playing the game that I love and consider myself a global player. As the World No.1 right now I wish to be a positive role model and a sportsperson that people respect and enjoy watching.

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.

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.
