Work Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Work

1.
It has been my experience that one cannot, in any shape or form, depend on human relations for lasting reward. It is only work that truly satisfies.
Bette Davis

2.
The brave man carves out his fortune, and every man is the son of his own works.
Cervantes, Miguel De

3.
Any startling piece of work has a subversive element in it, a delicious element often. Subversion is only disagreeable when it manifests in political or social activity. In what we call art, it's one of the most desirable characteristics of a piece of work.
Cohen, Leonard

4.
A dog that barks much is never a good hunter.
Proverb

5.
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.

6.
No matter how big or soft or warm your bed is, you still have to get out of it.
Slick, Grace

7.
I like manual labor. Whenever I've got waterlogged with study, I've taken a spell of it and found it spiritually invigorating.
W. Somerset Maugham

8.
When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.
Henry J. Kaiser

9.
We need the iron qualities that go with true manhood. We need the positive virtues of resolution, of courage, of indomitable will, of power to do without shrinking the rough work that must always be done.
Roosevelt, Theodore

10.
Industrial man --a sentient reciprocating engine having a fluctuating output, coupled to an iron wheel revolving with uniform velocity. And then we wonder why this should be the golden age of revolution and mental derangement.
Huxley, Aldous

11.
A woman's work is never done, especially the part she asks her husband to do.

12.
The really efficient laborer will be found not to crowd his day with work, but will saunter to his task surrounded by a wide halo of ease and leisure.
Thoreau, Henry David

13.
I don't like work... but I like what is in work -- the chance to find yourself. Your own reality -- for yourself, not for others -- which no other man can ever know.
Conrad, Joseph

14.
My share of the work may be limited, but the fact that it is work makes it precious.
Keller, Helen

15.
When a team outgrows individual performance and learns team confidence, excellence becomes a reality.
Paterno, Joe

16.
Every morning in Africa, a Gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a Lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest Gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn't matter whether you are a Lion or a Gazelle... when the sun comes up, you'd better be running.

17.
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 --not a doubtful sense, such as needs some testimony of others for its confirmation, but a sure sense, or rather knowledge, that so much work has been done well, and fruitfully done, whatever the world may say or think about it.
Auden, W. H.

18.
While a person gets they can never lose.
Proverb, Scottish

19.
The reward for work well done is the opportunity to do more.
Salk, Dr. Jonas

20.
To work -- to work! It is such infinite delight to know that we still have the best things to do.
Mansfield, Katherine

21.
Light is the task where many share the toil.
Homer

22.
Teamwork is so important that it is virtually impossible for you to reach the heights of your capabilities or make the money that you want without becoming very good at it.
Tracy, Brian

23.
Nobody ever drowned in his own sweat.
Landers, Ann

24.
I don't have anything against work. I just figure, why deprive somebody who really loves it.
Gillis, Dobie

25.
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

26.
Work is a refuge of people who have nothing better to do.
Wilde, Oscar

27.
Work saves us from three great evils: boredom, vice and need.
Voltaire

28.
Plaster thick, some will stick.
Proverb

29.
Work is only work if you'd rather be doing something else.
Prince, Ray

30.
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

31.
He worked like hell in the country so he could live in the city, where he worked like hell so he could live in the country.
Marquis, Don

32.
Doing what you love means dealing with things you don't.
David Shore

33.
It is an article of faith in my creed to pick the man who does not take himself seriously, but does take his work seriously.
Cahill, Michael C.

34.
The contemporary form of true greatness lies in a civilization founded on the spirituality of work.
Weil, Simone

35.
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

36.
Everything must degenerate into work if anything is to happen.
Drucker, Peter F.

37.
We work to become, not to acquire.
Hubbard, Elbert

38.
I've had smarter people around me all my life, but I haven't run into one yet that can outwork me. And if they can't outwork you, then smarts aren't going to do them much good. That's just the way it is. And if you believe that and live by it, you'd be surprised at how much fun you can have.
Hayes, Woody

39.
Work is the province of cattle.
Parker, Dorothy

40.
Inspiration comes of working every day.
Baudelaire, Charles

41.
When your team is winning, be ready to be tough, because winning can make you soft. On the other hand, when your team is losing, stick by them. Keep believing.
Schembechler, Bo

Work and play are words used to describe the same thing under differing conditions.
Twain, Mark

Block, A Harvey
