Work

Why should I let the toad work Squat on my life? Can't I use my wit as a pitchfork and drive the brute off?
- Larkin, Philip
Work Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Work

1.
Work joyfully and peacefully, knowing that right thoughts and right efforts will inevitably bring about right results.
Allen, James

2.
Deprived of meaningful work, men and women lose their reason for existence; they go stark, raving mad.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor

3.
...in order that a man may be happy, it is necessary that he should not only be capable of his work, but a good judge of his work.
John Ruskin

4.
A new breed of Americans born out of the social movements of the 60s and grown into a majority in the 70s holds a set of values so markedly different from the traditional outlook that they promise to transform the character of work in America in the 80s.
Yankelovitch, Daniel

5.
Work saves us from three great evils: boredom, vice and need.
Voltaire

6.
Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.
Theodore Roosevelt

7.
After all, it is hard to master both life and work equally well. So if you are bound to fake one of them, it had better be life.
Brodsky, Joseph

8.
The six most important words: I admit I made a mistake The five most important words: You did a good job The four most important words: What is YOUR opinion? The three most important words: If you please The two most important words: Thank You The one most important word: We The least important word: I.

9.
Measure not the work until the day's out and the labor done.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning

10.
White man builds big fire, stands back. Indian builds little fire, huddles close

11.
Work is the province of cattle.
Parker, Dorothy

12.
People forget how fast you did a job - but they remember how well you did it.
Howard Newton

13.
When I was a young man I observed that nine out of ten things I did were failures. I didn't want to be a failure, so I did ten times more work.
Shaw, George Bernard

14.
Nothing is work unless you'd rather be doing something else.
Halas, George

15.
No man or woman is an island. To exist just for yourself is meaningless. You can achieve the most satisfaction when you feel related to some greater purpose in life, something greater than yourself.
Waitley, Denis

16.
I am afraid that the pleasantness of an employment does not always evince its propriety.
Austen, Jane

17.
You'll never succeed in idealizing hard work. Before you can dig mother earth you've got to take off your ideal jacket. The harder a man works, at brute labor, the thinner becomes his idealism, the darker his mind.
Lawrence, D. H.

18.
Work to survive, survive by consuming, survive to consume: the hellish cycle is complete.
Vaneigem, Raoul

19.
Each home has been reduced to the bare essentials -- to barer essentials than most primitive people would consider possible. Only one woman's hands to feed the baby, answer the telephone, turn off the gas under the pot that is boiling over, soothe the older child who has broken a toy, and open both doors at once. She is a nutritionist, a child psychologist, an engineer, a production manager, an expert buyer, all in one. Her husband sees her as free to plan her own time, and envies her; she sees him as having regular hours and envies him.
Mead, Margaret

20.
The working-class is now issuing from its hiding-place to assert an Englishman's heaven-born privilege of doing as he likes, and is beginning to perplex us by marching where it likes, meeting where it likes, bawling what it likes, breaking what it likes.
Arnold, Matthew

21.
Work is love made visible. And if you can't work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of the people who work with joy.
Gibran, Kahlil

22.
We take eagles and teach them to fly in formation.
Calloway, Wayne

23.
The brave man carves out his fortune, and every man is the son of his own works.
Cervantes, Miguel De

24.
The really efficient laborer will be found not to crowd his day with work, but will saunter to his task surrounded by a wide halo of ease and leisure.
Thoreau, Henry David

25.
Our works decay and disappear but God gentlest works stay looking down on the ruins we toil to rear.
Smith, Dr. Walter

26.
When it comes to housework the one thing no book of household management can ever tell you is how to begin. Or maybe I mean why.
Whitehorn, Katharine

27.
Never hire anyone who is going to report directly to you who you do not intuitively just plain like from first impressions. If your instincts tell you you're going to have a hard time working with someone, pass.
Charette, Fred

28.
Even the woodpecker owes its success to the fact that he used his head.

29.
The sharp employ the sharp.
Jerrold, Douglas William

30.
The way to push things through to a finish effectively must be learned.
Book, William Frederick

31.
It does not seem to be true that work necessarily needs to be unpleasant. It may always have to be hard, or at least harder than doing nothing at all. But there is ample evidence that work can be enjoyable, and that indeed, it is often the most enjoyable part of life.
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

32.
Work is not a curse, but drudgery is!
Beecher, Henry Ward

33.
How can there be so much difference between a day off and an off day?

34.
The work praises the man.
Proverb, Irish

35.
Love conquers all, but if love doesn't do it, try hard work

36.
Work is necessary for man. Man invented the alarm clock.
Picasso, Pablo

37.
There is always the danger that we may just do the work for the sake of the work. This is where the respect and the love and the devotion come in --that we do it to God, to Christ, and that's why we try to do it as beautifully as possible.
Mother Teresa

38.
The welfare of each is bound up in the welfare of all.
Keller, Helen

39.
I don't need to be Tom Cruise. I just need to work forever.
Foster, Jodie

40.
The brain is a wonderful organ; it starts working the moment you get Up in the morning and does not stop until you get to the office.
Frost, Robert

41.
The effectiveness of work increases according to geometric progression if there are no interruptions.
Maurois, Andre

42.
Thunder is impressive, but it is lightning that does the work.
Twain, Mark

43.
When you cease to make a contribution, you begin to die.
Roosevelt, Eleanor

44.
Anyone can do any amount of work provided it isn't the work he is supposed to be doing at the moment.
Robert Benchley

45.
Plaster thick, some will stick.
Proverb

46.
Folks who never do any more than they get paid for, never get paid for anymore than they do.
Hubbard, Elbert

47.
If I am anything, which I highly doubt, I have made myself so by hard work.
Newton, Sir Isaac

48.
If the power to do hard work is not a skill, it's the best possible substitute for it.
Garfield, James A.

49.
Working from home meant we could vary snack and coffee breaks, change our desks or view, goof off, drink on the job, even spend the day in pajamas, and often meet to gossip or share ideas. On the other hand, we bossed ourselves around, set impossible goals, and demanded longer hours than office jobs usually entail. It was the ultimate "flextime," in that it depended on how flexible we felt each day, given deadlines, distractions, and workaholic crescendos.
Diane Ackerman

50.
Remember that your work comes only moment by moment, and as surely as God calls you to work, he gives the strength to do it.
Maurice, Priscilla
