Best Quotes about Work

Herbert, George

Inspiration comes of working every day.

Baudelaire, Charles

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.

If we work thus we shall be men, and our days will be happy and eventful.

Morris, William

Rutte, Martin

In most cases being a good boss means hiring talented people and then getting out of their way. In other cases, to get the best work out of people you may have to pretend you are not their boss and let them treat someone else like the boss, and then that whispers to you behind a fake wall and you tell them what to tell the first person.
