Work Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Work

1.
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

2.
Every calling is great when greatly pursued.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

3.
Nothing is work unless you'd rather be doing something else.
Halas, George

4.
On this team, we're all united in a common goal: to keep my job.
Holtz, Lou

5.
Build for your team a feeling of oneness, of dependence on one another and of strength to be derived by unity.
Lombardi, Vince

6.
I think any player will tell you that individual accomplishments help your ego, but if you don't win, it makes for a very, very long season. It counts more that the team has played well.
Robinson, David

7.
Do not hire a man who does your work for money, but him who does it for love of it.
Henry David Thoreau

8.
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

9.
When I was a young man I observed that nine out of ten things I did were failures. I didn't want to be a failure, so I did ten times more work.
Shaw, George Bernard

10.
There can only be one state of mind as you approach any profound test; total concentration, a spirit of togetherness, and strength.
Riley, Pat

11.
The worst fault of the working classes is telling their children they're not going to succeed, saying: There is life, but it's not for you.
Mortimer, John

12.
A team is a team is a team. Shakespeare said that many times.
Devine, Dan

13.
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

14.
Work consists of whatever a body is obliged to do, and play consists of whatever a body is not obliged to do.
Twain, Mark

15.
I learned the value of hard work by working hard.
Fitzpatrick, Margaret M.

16.
You all know that even when women have full rights, they still remain fatally downtrodden because all housework is left to them. In most cases housework is the most unproductive, the most barbarous and the most arduous work a woman can do. It is exceptionally petty and does not include anything that would in any way promote the development of the woman.
Lenin, Vladimir Ilyich

17.
A dwarf on a giant's shoulders sees the further of the two.
Herbert, George

18.
The contemporary form of true greatness lies in a civilization founded on the spirituality of work.
Weil, Simone

19.
A well-run restaurant is like a winning baseball team. It makes the most of every crew member's talent and takes advantage of every split-second opportunity to speed up service.
Ogilvy, David

20.
Something made greater by ourselves and in turn that makes us greater.
Angelou, Maya

21.
You do your best work if you do a job that makes you happy.
Bob Ross

22.
My work is magnified by the fact that the streets of heaven are too crowded with angels -- we know their names, they number a thousand for each red ribbon we wear here tonight. [Accepting his Best Actor Oscar for Philadelphia]
Hanks, Tom

23.
There is a kind of victory in good work, no matter how humble.
Kemp, Jack

24.
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

25.
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.

26.
Personally, I have nothing against work, particularly when performed, quietly and unobtrusively, by someone else. I just don't happen to think it's an appropriate subject for an ethic.
Ehrenreich, Barbara

27.
It is wonderful when a calculation is made, how little the mind is actually employed in the discharge of any profession.
Johnson, Samuel

28.
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

29.
You can't rest on your laurels. Your own body of work is yet to come.
Barack Obama

30.
Work will win when wishy washy wishing won t.
Monson, Thomas S.

31.
You have to do it by yourself, and you can't do it alone.
Rutte, Martin

32.
In order that people may be happy in their work, these three things are needed: They must be fit for it. They must not do too much of it. And they must have a sense of success in it.
John Ruskin

33.
I hate housework! You make the beds, you do the dishes -- and six months later you have to start all over again.
Rivers, Joan

34.
Our works decay and disappear but God gentlest works stay looking down on the ruins we toil to rear.
Smith, Dr. Walter

35.
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

36.
A shoe that is too large is apt to trip one, and when too small, to pinch the feet. So it is with those whose fortune does not suit them.
Horace

37.
We take eagles and teach them to fly in formation.
Calloway, Wayne

38.
I am afraid that the pleasantness of an employment does not always evince its propriety.
Austen, Jane

39.
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

40.
Work is love made visible. And if you can't work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of the people who work with joy.
Gibran, Kahlil

41.
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, and Jill a wealthy widow.

42.
No bees, no honey; no work, no money.
Proverb

43.
In an earthquake, the most dangerous place to be is in a tall building that is not flexible. 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. So, too, over the coming years, large organizations that remain rigid will crumble and fall, while those that succeed in adding flexibility, teamwork and creativity to their cultures will thrive.

44.
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

45.
Work is a four letter word!

46.
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

47.
Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.
Theodore Roosevelt

48.
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

49.
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

50.
Real success is finding your lifework in the work that you love.
David McCullough
