Work

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



Best Quotes about Work

1.
Man is so made that he can only find relaxation from one kind of labor by taking up another.
Anatole France

2.
You can't rest on your laurels. Your own body of work is yet to come.
Barack Obama

3.
To each man is reserved a work which he alone can do.
Blow, Susan

4.
The time spent in trying to impress others could be spent in doing the things by which others would be impressed.
Romer, Frank

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

6.
A man grows most tired while standing still.
Proverb, Chinese

7.
In the ordinary business of life, industry can do anything which genius can do, and very many things which it cannot.
Beecher, Henry Ward

8.
Teamwork is so important that it is virtually impossible for you to reach the heights of your capabilities or make the money that you want without becoming very good at it.
Tracy, Brian

9.
When more and more people are thrown out of work, unemployment results.
Coolidge, Calvin

10.
It is literally true that you can succeed best and quickest by helping others to succeed.
Hill, Napoleon

11.
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

12.
Most people show up for work being physically accoutered but mentally disheveled.
Butterworth, Eric

13.
I suspect that American workers have come to lack a work ethic. They do not live by the sweat of their brow.
Miyazawa, Kiichi

14.
A man at work, making something which he feels will exist because he is working at it and wills it, is exercising the energies of his mind and soul as well as of his body. Memory and imagination help him as he works. Not only his own thoughts, but the thoughts of the men of past ages guide his hands; and, as part of the human race, he creates. If we work thus we shall be men, and our days will be happy and eventful.
Morris, William

15.
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

16.
Nothing is work unless you'd rather be doing something else.
Halas, George

17.
Intimate or drastic elements in the work of others are untouchable and should not be commented upon even in their absence. Private conflicts, quarrels, sentiments, animosities are unavoidable in any human group. It is our duty towards creation to keep these in check in so far as they might deform and wreck the work process.
Grotowski, Jerzy

18.
When your team is winning, be ready to be tough, because winning can make you soft. On the other hand, when your team is losing, stick by them. Keep believing.
Schembechler, Bo

19.
One of the saddest things is that the only thing that a man can do for eight hours a day, day after day, is work. You can't eat eight hours a day nor drink for eight hours a day nor make love for eight hours --all you can do for eight hours is work. Which is the reason why man makes himself and everybody else so miserable and unhappy.
Faulkner, William

20.
Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing is like shoveling the walk before it stops snowing.
Diller, Phyllis

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.
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

23.
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

24.
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

25.
Build for your team a feeling of oneness, of dependence on one another and of strength to be derived by unity.
Lombardi, Vince

26.
The way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don't play together, the club won't be worth a dime.
Ruth, Babe

27.
Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work.
Aristotle

28.
A champion of the working man has never yet been known to die of overwork.
Frost, Robert

29.
Measure not the work until the day's out and the labor done.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning

30.
I like manual labor. Whenever I've got waterlogged with study, I've taken a spell of it and found it spiritually invigorating.
W. Somerset Maugham

31.
I am his mistress. His work is his wife.
Javits, Marion

32.
Work is only work if you'd rather be doing something else.
Prince, Ray

33.
You've got to find what you love and that is as true for work as it is for lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking and don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you've found it.
Steve Jobs

34.
I love the work; I could sit and look at it for hours.

35.
Plans are only good intentions unless they immediately degenerate into hard work.
Peter Drucker

36.
The honest work of yesterday has lost its social status, its social esteem.
Drucker, Peter F.

37.
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

38.
By working hard, you get to play hard guilt-free.
Rohn, Jim

39.
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

40.
Hard work is the key to success, so work diligently on any project you undertake. If you truly want to be successful, be prepared to give up your leisure time and work past 5 PM and on weekends. Also, have faith in yourself. If you come up with a new idea that you believe in, don't allow other people to discourage you from pursuing it.
Lazarus, Charles

41.
The reward for work well done is the opportunity to do more.
Salk, Dr. Jonas

42.
To fulfill a dream to be allowed to sweat over lonely labor, to be given a chance to create, is the meat and potatoes of life. The money is the gravy.
Davis, Bette

43.
Everybody on a championship team doesn't get publicity, but everyone can say he's a champion.
Johnson, Earvin ''Magic''

44.
If I went to work in a factory the first thing I'd do is join a union.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

45.
The average person puts only 25% of his energy and ability into his work. The world takes off its hat to those who put in more than 50% of their capacity, and stands on its head for those few and far between souls who devote 100%.
Carnegie, Andrew

46.
Work is either fun or drudgery. It depends on your attitude. I like fun.
Barrett, Colleen C.

47.
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

48.
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

49.
It is an article of faith in my creed to pick the man who does not take himself seriously, but does take his work seriously.
Cahill, Michael C.

50.
There are few things that you can't do as long as you are willing to apply yourself.
LeMond, Greg
