Work

The greatest analgesic, soporific, stimulant, tranquilizer, narcotic, and to some extent even antibiotic --in short, the closest thing to a genuine panacea --known to medical science is work.
- Szasz, Thomas
Work Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Work

1.
Work and play are words used to describe the same thing under differing conditions.
Twain, Mark

2.
There isn't any luck that enters into anything, unless it's poker or shooting dice, maybe. There is no luck to merchandising. There is no luck in going out and working from early in the morning to long after dinner. That is not luck, it's work.
Fitch, Fred W.

3.
A work is never completed except by some accident such as weariness, satisfaction, the need to deliver, or death: for, in relation to who or what is making it, it can only be one stage in a series of inner transformations.
Valery, Paul

4.
When two people meet, there are really six people present. There is each man as he sees himself, each man as he wants to be seen, and each man as he really is.
Saintamo, Michael De

5.
If it's true that men today value their lives outside of work as much as women do--and research proves it is--then they have to join women's fight to reconstruct the way we work and create a new, broader definition of success.
Mckenna, Elizabeth Perle

6.
To work -- to work! It is such infinite delight to know that we still have the best things to do.
Mansfield, Katherine

7.
Hard work spotlights the character of people: some turn up their sleeves, some turn up their noses, and some don't turn up at all.
Sam Ewing

8.
Poor workers! First they're cuckolded, and, as if that weren't enough, then they're beaten! Work's a curse, Saturno. I say to hell with the work you have to do to earn a living! That kind of work does us no honor; all it does is fill up the bellies of the pigs who exploit us. But the work you do because you like to do it, because you've heard the call, you've got a vocation --that's ennobling! We should all be able to work like that. Look at me, Saturno --I don't work. And I don't care if they hang me, I won't work! Yet I'm alive! I may live badly, but at least I don't have to work to do it!
Bunuel, Luis

9.
Clearly the most unfortunate people are those who must do the same thing over and over again, every minute, or perhaps twenty to the minute. They deserve the shortest hours and the highest pay.
Galbraith, John Kenneth

10.
Labor diligently to increase your property.
Horace

11.
Work to survive, survive by consuming, survive to consume: the hellish cycle is complete.
Vaneigem, Raoul

12.
Our works decay and disappear but God gentlest works stay looking down on the ruins we toil to rear.
Smith, Dr. Walter

13.
Work is the greatest thing in the world, so we should always save some of it for tomorrow.
Herold, Don

14.
Thunder is impressive, but it is lightning that does the work.
Twain, Mark

15.
We need the iron qualities that go with true manhood. We need the positive virtues of resolution, of courage, of indomitable will, of power to do without shrinking the rough work that must always be done.
Roosevelt, Theodore

16.
If the power to do hard work is not a skill, it's the best possible substitute for it.
Garfield, James A.

17.
The intellectual equipment needed for the job of the future is an ability to define problems, quickly assimilate relevant data, conceptualize and reorganize the information, make deductive and inductive leaps with it, ask hard questions about it, discuss findings with colleagues, work collaboratively to find solutions and then convince others.
Reich, Robert B.

18.
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

19.
Snowflakes are one of nature's most fragile things, but just look at what they can do when they stick together.

20.
The work praises the man.
Proverb, Irish

21.
A well-run restaurant is like a winning baseball team. It makes the most of every crew member's talent and takes advantage of every split-second opportunity to speed up service.
Ogilvy, David

22.
The sweat of hard work is not to be displayed. It is much more graceful to appear favored by the gods.
Maxine Hong Kingston

23.
I must work the work of him that sent me while it is day; for the night comet when no man can work.
Bible

24.
Bodily labor alleviates the pains of the mind and from this arises the happiness of the poor.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

25.
Life is just a dirty four-letter word: W-O-R-K.
Mcevoy, J. P.

26.
I do not know anyone who has gotten to the top without hard work. That is the recipe. It will not always get you to the top, but it will get you pretty near.
Thatcher, Margaret

27.
Even the woodpecker owes its success to the fact that he used his head.

28.
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.

29.
The quality of your work, in the long run, is the deciding factor on how much your services are valued by the world.
Marden, Orison Swett

30.
Don't be condescending to unskilled labor. Try it for a half a day first.
Atkinson, Brooks

31.
Work either expands or contracts in order to fill the time available.
Parkinson's Law

32.
Work! labor the asparagus me of life; the one great sacrament of humanity from which all other things flow -- security, leisure, joy, art, literature, even divinity itself.
O'Casey, Sean

33.
In every one of those little stucco boxes there's some poor bastard who's never free except when he's fast asleep and dreaming that he's got the boss down the bottom of a well and is bunging lumps of coal at him.
Orwell, George

34.
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

35.
People forget how fast you did a job - but they remember how well you did it.
Howard Newton

36.
You have to do it by yourself, and you can't do it alone.
Rutte, Martin

37.
People who work sitting down get paid more than people who work standing up.
Ogden Nash

38.
In an earthquake, the most dangerous place to be is in a tall building that is not flexible. Yet, one of the safest places is a tall building that has been stressed for earthquakes -- - in other words, one that has a deep foundation and is flexible. So, too, over the coming years, large organizations that remain rigid will crumble and fall, while those that succeed in adding flexibility, teamwork and creativity to their cultures will thrive.

39.
The highest compliment that you can pay me is to say that I work hard every day, that I never dog it.
Gretzky, Wayne

40.
Like every man of sense and good feeling, I abominate work.
Huxley, Aldous

41.
A man perfects himself by working. Foul jungles are cleared away, fair seed-fields rise instead, and stately cities; and with the man himself first ceases to be a jungle, and foul unwholesome desert thereby. The man is now a man.
Carlyle, Thomas

42.
Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.
Theodore Roosevelt

43.
Going to work for a large company is like getting on a train. Are you going sixty miles an hour or is the train going sixty miles an hour and you're just sitting still?
Getty, J. Paul

44.
Anyone who thinks hard work will never hurt you has never had to pay to have it done. Jesus now has many lovers of his Heavenly Kingdom, but few bearers of his cross.
Kempis, Thomas

45.
Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing is like shoveling the walk before it stops snowing.
Diller, Phyllis

46.
The history of all countries shows that the working class exclusively by its own effort is able to develop only trade-union consciousness.
Lenin, Vladimir Ilyich

47.
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

48.
I never worked a day in my life. It's not work when you love what you're doing.
Shakarian, David

49.
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

50.
A particular shot or way of moving the ball can be a player's personal signature, but efficiency of performance is what wins the game for the team.
Riley, Pat
