A Quote by George Carman

Law is a very addictive profession. — © George Carman
Law is a very addictive profession.
Fame is addictive. Money is addictive. Attention is addictive. But golf is second to none.
With the exception of lawyers, there is no profession which, considers itself above the law so widely as the medical profession.
Painting to me is addictive. These are moments when it is inspiring, but they are few and far between. I keep my tools sharpened for the moment when things do start clicking, but that doesn't happen a lot. I really have to push myself sometimes. Painting is a profession in which it is very easy to be lazy, particularly if you have any degree of success.
The profession I chose was politics; the profession I entered was law. I entered the one because I thought it would lead to the other.
I give off rather mixed messages about the law. On the one hand, I can honestly say I don't miss working in a law office. On the other hand I do enjoy watching the law and while the profession may have its problems, I have sold zillions of books out of magnifying them.
Instead of taking a very high-paying type of law job or something that I might be able to do, I have been a legislator. That's what I do. I think it's an honorable profession - if you're honest and have integrity and work hard.
I got addicted. News, particularly daily news, is more addictive than crack cocaine, more addictive than heroin, more addictive than cigarettes.
Everything is addictive to me but tattoos are addictive to all.
One of the things about being a law student is that the academic discipline of law is very often removed from the practical reality of law. How to complain, who to complain to, and whether or not you even need to invoke the law is very different in the real world from how it's examined in the lecture theatre.
Law is an imperfect profession in which success can rarely be achieved without some sacrifice of principle. Thus all practicing lawyers -- and most others in the profession -- will necessarily be imperfect, especially in the eyes of young idealists. There is no perfect justice, just as there is no absolute in ethics. But there is perfect injustice, and we know it when we see it.
I find it very, very hard doing what the law on DACA says exactly to do, and you know, the law is rough. I'm not talking about new laws. I'm talking the existing law is very rough. As far as the new order, the new order is going to be very much tailored to the - what I consider to be a very bad decision.
Lawyers are necessary in a community. Some of you...take a different view; but as I am a member of that legal profession, or was at one time, and have only lost standing in it to become a politician, I still retain the pride of the profession. And I still insist that it is the law and the lawyer that make popular government under a written constitution and written statutes possible.
You can be creative and not addictive, or addictive and not creative. Most addicted people do not produce anything of remarkable note.
For me acting is just a profession. As much passion I have for my profession, I always seperate profession from life.
Winning is very addictive, that's why it's very hard when suddenly - boom - you are not the favorites any more.
I've always been very un-fun. I'm a habit person. I have a very weak version of an addictive personality.
