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.
A man must drive his energy, not be driven by it.
Book, William Frederick

2.
Personnel and their capacity for work on their exact jobs is the basic key to income and success.
Hubbard, L. Ron

3.
Being a part of success is more important than being personally indispensable.
Riley, Pat

4.
Man is so made that he can only find relaxation from one kind of labor by taking up another.
Anatole France

5.
A woman's work is never done, especially the part she asks her husband to do.

6.
My father always told me, Find a job you love and you'll never have to work a day in your life.
Fox, Jim

7.
Measure not the work until the day's out and the labor's done.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

8.
A tremendous number of people in America work very hard at something that bores them. Even a rich man thinks he has to go down to the office everyday. Not because he likes it but because he can't think of anything else to do.
Auden, W. H.

9.
When you choose the paradigm of service, it turns everything you do from a job into a gift.
Oprah Winfrey

10.
Even a mosquito doesn't get a pat on the back until he's well into his work.

11.
I don't have anything against work. I just figure, why deprive somebody who really loves it.
Gillis, Dobie

12.
When a team outgrows individual performance and learns team confidence, excellence becomes a reality.
Paterno, Joe

13.
He worked like hell in the country so he could live in the city, where he worked like hell so he could live in the country.
Marquis, Don

14.
The moment we break faith with one another, the sea engulfs us and the light goes out.
Baldwin, James

15.
People have been known to achieve more as a result of working with others than against them.
Fromme, Dr. Allan

16.
Getting fired is nature's way to telling you that you had the wrong job in the first place.
Hal Lancaster

17.
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

18.
Most teams aren't teams at all but merely collections of individual relationships with the boss. Each individual vying with the others for power, prestige and position.
Mcgregor, Douglas Murray

19.
Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is the probable reason so few engage in it.
Ford, Henry

20.
Never throughout history has a man who lived a life of ease left a name worth remembering.
Roosevelt, Theodore

21.
Genius is one per cent inspiration, ninety-nine per cent perspiration.
Thomas A. Edison

22.
Work is either fun or drudgery. It depends on your attitude. I like fun.
Barrett, Colleen C.

23.
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

24.
A man ought to work. That's what he's here for. That's how he contributes to the welfare of the community.
W. Somerset Maugham

25.
At least one study of blocked writers has found that they were more productive and more creative when they were essentially forced to write instead of scribbling only when the mood struck them.
Daniel Akst

26.
The secret of making something work in your lives is, first of all, the deep desire to make it work: then the faith and belief that it can work: then to hold that clear definite vision in your consciousness and see it working out step by step, without one thought of doubt or disbelief.
Caddy, Eileen

27.
The question is not whether the system works, but whether we like the way it works. Just because something works doesn't mean it is desirable. Concentration camps work, if your purpose is to enslave people. Stealing works, if all you care about is money. Lying works, if you don't give a damn about your personal integrity. Literally anything, no matter how monstrously immoral will work, depending on your desires and how you define the term work,
Leon, Sy

28.
Industrial man --a sentient reciprocating engine having a fluctuating output, coupled to an iron wheel revolving with uniform velocity. And then we wonder why this should be the golden age of revolution and mental derangement.
Huxley, Aldous

29.
To each man is reserved a work which he alone can do.
Blow, Susan

30.
If food were free, why work?
Horton, Doug

31.
You don't grow up in our neck of the woods believing that someone can outwork you.
Parkinson, Joseph

32.
The works of women are symbolical. We sew, sew, prick our fingers, dull our sight, producing what? A pair of slippers, sir, to put on when you're weary -- or a stool. To stumble over and vex you... curse that stool! Or else at best, a cushion, where you lean and sleep, and dream of something we are not, but would be for your sake. Alas, alas! This hurts most, this... that, after all, we are paid the worth of our work, perhaps.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

33.
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.

34.
Don't be condescending to unskilled labor. Try it for a half a day first.
Atkinson, Brooks

35.
It's easy to get the players; it's getting them to play together that's the tough part
Stengel, Casey

36.
Doing what you love means dealing with things you don't.
David Shore

37.
When you're doing the work you're meant to do, it feels right and every day is a bonus, regardless of what you're getting paid.
Oprah Winfrey

38.
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. It knows it must outrun the slowest Gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn't matter whether you are a Lion or a Gazelle... when the sun comes up, you'd better be running.

39.
I am afraid that the pleasantness of an employment does not always evince its propriety.
Austen, Jane

40.
How do I work? I grope.
Einstein, Albert

41.
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.
Parkinson, C. Northcote

42.
The world is moved along not only by the mighty shoves of its heroes, but also by the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker.
Keller, Helen

43.
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

44.
Life grants nothing to us mortals without hard work.
Horace

45.
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

46.
In most cases being a good boss means hiring talented people and then getting out of their way. In other cases, to get the best work out of people you may have to pretend you are not their boss and let them treat someone else like the boss, and then that whispers to you behind a fake wall and you tell them what to tell the first person. Contrary to what I believed as a little girl, being the boss almost never involves marching around, waving your arms, and chanting, " I am the boss! I am the boss!"
Tina Fey

47.
I don't believe in team motivation. I believe in getting a team prepared so it knows it will have the necessary confidence when it steps on a field and be prepared to play a good game.
Landry, Tom

48.
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

49.
Whatever muscles I have are the product of my own hard work and nothing else.
Ashford, Evelyn

50.
Build for your team a feeling of oneness, of dependence on one another and of strength to be derived by unity.
Lombardi, Vince
