Motivational Quotes

Work

Working from home meant we could vary snack and coffee breaks, change our desks or view, goof off, drink on the job, even spend the day in pajamas, and often meet to gossip or share ideas. On the other hand, we bossed ourselves around, set impossible goals, and demanded longer hours than office jobs usually entail. It was the ultimate "flextime," in that it depended on how flexible we felt each day, given deadlines, distractions, and workaholic crescendos.
- Diane Ackerman
Work Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Work

1.
When it comes to housework the one thing no book of household management can ever tell you is how to begin. Or maybe I mean why.
Whitehorn, Katharine

2.
Being a part of success is more important than being personally indispensable.
Riley, Pat

3.
Love conquers all, but if love doesn't do it, try hard work

4.
No true work since the world began was ever wasted; no true life since the world began has ever failed. Oh, understand those two perverted word, failure and success and measure them by the eternal, not the earthly, standard. When after thirty obscure, toilsome, unrecorded years in the shop of the village carpenter, one came forth to be pre-eminently the man of sorrows, to wander from city to city in homeless labors, and to expire in lonely agony upon the shameful cross -- was that a failure.
Farrar, Frederick

5.
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

6.
I don't have anything against work. I just figure, why deprive somebody who really loves it.
Gillis, Dobie

7.
The achievements of an organization are the results of the combined effort of each individual.
Lombardi, Vince

8.
Coaches who let a championship team back off from becoming a dynasty are cowards.
Riley, Pat

9.
There is a kind of victory in good work, no matter how humble.
Kemp, Jack

10.
When a man tells you that he got rich through hard work, ask him:'Whose?'
Don Marquis

11.
Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing is like shoveling the walk before it stops snowing.
Diller, Phyllis

12.
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

13.
It is wonderful when a calculation is made, how little the mind is actually employed in the discharge of any profession.
Johnson, Samuel

14.
The fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results.

15.
Work is the open sesame of every portal, the great equalizer in the world, the true philosopher's stone which transmutes all the base metal of humanity into gold.
Osler, Sir William

16.
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

17.
We work to become, not to acquire.
Hubbard, Elbert

18.
Man is so made that he can only find relaxation from one kind of labor by taking up another.
Anatole France

19.
Plaster thick, some will stick.
Proverb

20.
Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.
Roosevelt, Theodore

21.
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

22.
One man can be a crucial ingredient on a team, but one man cannot make a team.
Abdul-Jabbar, Kareem

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

25.
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

26.
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

27.
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

28.
Housework is work directly opposed to the possibility of human self-actualization.
Oakley, Ann

29.
Bodily labor alleviates the pains of the mind and from this arises the happiness of the poor.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

30.
No one man is superior to the game.
Giamatti, A. Bartlett

31.
The sweat of hard work is not to be displayed. It is much more graceful to appear favored by the gods.
Maxine Hong Kingston

32.
Feeding the hungry is a greater work than raising the dead.
Chrysosatom, St. John

33.
If the power to do hard work is not a skill, it's the best possible substitute for it.
Garfield, James A.

34.
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.

35.
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

36.
Plans are only good intentions unless they immediately degenerate into hard work.
Peter Drucker

37.
The ideas that come out of most brainstorming sessions are usually superficial, trivial, and not very original.They are rarely useful.The process, however, seems to make uncreative people feel that they are making innovative contributions and that others are listening to them.
Block, A Harvey

38.
Work with some men is as besetting a sin as idleness.
Butler, Samuel

39.
Work is life, you know, and without it, there's nothing but fear and insecurity.
Lennon, John

40.
Any startling piece of work has a subversive element in it, a delicious element often. Subversion is only disagreeable when it manifests in political or social activity. In what we call art, it's one of the most desirable characteristics of a piece of work.
Cohen, Leonard

41.
Work is nothing but the slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great images in whose presence [His Or Her] heart first opened.
Camus, Albert

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.

47.
Light is the task where many share the toil.

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

49.
Work your way up or rust your way out.
Holton

50.
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
