Best Quotes about Work

Which is the reason why man makes himself and everybody else so miserable and unhappy.

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.
