Work

Personally, I have nothing against work, particularly when performed, quietly and unobtrusively, by someone else. I just don't happen to think it's an appropriate subject for an ethic.
- Ehrenreich, Barbara

Roosevelt, Theodore

Every job has drudgery, whether it is in the home, in the school, or in the office. The first secret of happiness is the recognition of this fundamental fact.
Mcintosh, M. C.

4.
Every morning in Africa, a Gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a Lion wakes up.

Johnny Carson

11.
Every calling is great when greatly pursued.

Something made greater by ourselves and in turn that makes us greater.
Angelou, Maya

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

17.
Like every man of sense and good feeling, I abominate work.
Huxley, Aldous

18.
I never did anything by accident, nor did any of my inventions come by accident; they came by work.
Edison, Thomas A.

My father taught me to work, but he did not teach me to love it.
Lincoln, Abraham

20.
Inspiration comes of working every day.
Baudelaire, Charles

21.
We must hold a man amenable to reason for the choice of his daily craft or profession. It is not an excuse any longer for his deeds that they are the custom of his trade. What business has he with an evil trade?
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

22.
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

Austen, Jane

27.
I make no secret of the fact that I would rather lie on a sofa than sweep beneath it. But you have to be efficient if you're going to be lazy.
Conran, Shirley

28.
No bees, no honey; no work, no money.
Proverb

29.
Anyone who works is a fool. I don't work - I merely inflict myself upon the public.
Robert Morley

30.
Love conquers all, but if love doesn't do it, try hard work

31.
Whenever it is in any way possible, every boy and girl should choose as his life work some occupation which he should like to do anyhow, even if he did not need the money.
William Lyon Phelps

32.
For a woman to get a rewarding sense of total creation by way of the multiple monotonous chores that are her daily lot would be as irrational as for an assembly line worker to rejoice that he had created an automobile because he tightened a bolt.
Stern, Edith Mendel

33.
Never work before breakfast. If you have to work before breakfast, get your breakfast first.
Billings, Josh

34.
Anything that comes easy, comes wrong.
Tessier, Josephine

35.
The same people who are murdered slowly in the mechanized slaughterhouses of work are also arguing, singing, drinking, dancing, making love, holding the streets, picking up weapons and inventing a new poetry.
Vaneigem, Raoul

36.
Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion. General recognition of this fact is shown in the proverbial phrase It is the busiest man who has time to spare.
