Best Quotes about Work

Hard work brings prosperity; playing around brings poverty.

Bible

Work is not man's punishment! It is his reward and his strength, his glory and his pleasure.

Sand, George

Members of groups that do not meet regularly together usually do not feel a strong sense of belonging and do not take ownership for the success of the group.

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.

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.
