Famous quotes containing the words professional, fire and/or fighting:

    I hate the whole race.... There is no believing a word they say—your professional poets, I mean—there never existed a more worthless set than Byron and his friends for example.
    Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke Wellington (1769–1852)

    It is hard to hate what one has loved, and a half-extinguished fire is soon relit.
    Pierre Corneille (1606–1684)

    Compare society to a boat. Her progress through the water will not depend upon the exertion of her crew, but upon the exertion devoted to propelling her. This will be lessened by any expenditure of force in fighting among themselves, or in pulling in different directions.
    Henry George (1839–1897)
