Best Quotes about Work
I hate housework! You make the beds, you do the dishes -- and six months later you have to start all over again.
Rivers, Joan
Work is a refuge of people who have nothing better to do.
Wilde, Oscar
To work -- to work! It is such infinite delight to know that we still have the best things to do.
Mansfield, Katherine
What is work and what is not work are questions that perplex the wisest of men.
Bhagavad Gita
Whatever muscles I have are the product of my own hard work and nothing else.
Ashford, Evelyn
Deprived of meaningful work, men and women lose their reason for existence; they go stark, raving mad.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor
You can't rest on your laurels. Your own body of work is yet to come.
Barack Obama
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
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
Anyone can do any amount of work, provided it isn't the work he is supposed to be doing at the moment.
Benchley, Robert
The moment we break faith with one another, the sea engulfs us and the light goes out.
Baldwin, James
The sweat of hard work is not to be displayed. It is much more graceful to appear favored by the gods.
Maxine Hong Kingston
Even a mosquito doesn't get a pat on the back until he's well into his work.
The highest reward that God gives us for good work is the ability to do better work.
Hubbard, Elbert
I am afraid that the pleasantness of an employment does not always evince its propriety.
Austen, Jane
Nothing is really work unless you would rather be doing something else.
James M. Barrie
You may be the only standard work somebody ever reads.
Everything must degenerate into work if anything is to happen.
Drucker, Peter F.
I believe that good things come to those who work.
Chamberlain, Wilt
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
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
Work is the province of cattle.
Parker, Dorothy
When he took time to help the man up the mountain, lo, he scaled it himself.
Do not hire a man who does your work for money, but him who does it for love of it.
Henry David Thoreau
Don't be condescending to unskilled labor. Try it for a half a day first.
Atkinson, Brooks
A new breed of Americans born out of the social movements of the 60s and grown into a majority in the 70s holds a set of values so markedly different from the traditional outlook that they promise to transform the character of work in America in the 80s.
Yankelovitch, Daniel
Labor is the fabled magician's wand, the philosophers stone, and the cap of good fortune.
Johnson, James Weldon
I like work; it fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours. I love to keep it by me; the idea of getting rid of it nearly breaks my heart.
Jerome, Jerome K.
The best work never was and never will be done for money.
Ruskin, John
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
It's true hard work never killed anybody, but I figure, why take the chance?
Reagan, Ronald
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
My work is a game -- a very serious game.
Escher, M. C.
Work saves us from three great evils: boredom, vice and need.
Voltaire
Work is life, you know, and without it, there's nothing but fear and insecurity.
Lennon, John
We have always found that people are most productive in small teams with tight budgets, time lines and the freedom to solve their own problems.
Rollwagen, John
Coaches who let a championship team back off from becoming a dynasty are cowards.
Riley, Pat
Work is not man's punishment! It is his reward and his strength, his glory and his pleasure.
Sand, George
At daybreak, when loath to rise, have this thought in thy mind: I am rising for a man's work.
Syrus, Publilius
A man must drive his energy, not be driven by it.
Book, William Frederick
How can there be so much difference between a day off and an off day?
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
Chose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.
Confucius
After all, it is hard to master both life and work equally well. So if you are bound to fake one of them, it had better be life.
Brodsky, Joseph
You don't grow up in our neck of the woods believing that someone can outwork you.
Parkinson, Joseph
Genius is one per cent inspiration, ninety-nine per cent perspiration.
Thomas A. Edison
I learned the value of hard work by working hard.
Fitzpatrick, Margaret M.
Man is so made that he can only find relaxation from one kind of labor by taking up another.
Anatole France
Work is only work if you'd rather be doing something else.
Prince, Ray
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
