Best Quotes about Work

The nice thing about teamwork is that you always have others on your side.

Carty, Margaret

Each home has been reduced to the bare essentials -- to barer essentials than most primitive people would consider possible.

She is a nutritionist, a child psychologist, an engineer, a production manager, an expert buyer, all in one. Her husband sees her as free to plan her own time, and envies her; she sees him as having regular hours and envies him.
