Motivational Quotes
Work
I like manual labor. Whenever I've got waterlogged with study, I've taken a spell of it and found it spiritually invigorating.

Best Quotes about Work
Life grants nothing to us mortals without hard work.
Horace
Do not hire a man who does your work for money, but him who does it for love of it.
Henry David Thoreau
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.
Never work before breakfast. If you have to work before breakfast, get your breakfast first.
Billings, Josh
Work your way up or rust your way out.
Holton
You put together the best team that you can with the players you've got, and replace those who aren't good enough.
Crandall, Robert
Nothing is really work unless you would rather be doing something else.
James M. Barrie
My father taught me to work, but he did not teach me to love it.
Lincoln, Abraham
The brave man carves out his fortune, and every man is the son of his own works.
Cervantes, Miguel De
The work will stand, no matter what.
Streep, Meryl
The way to push things through to a finish effectively must be learned.
Book, William Frederick
Work is the open sesame of every portal, the great equalizer in the world, the true philosopher's stone which transmutes all the base metal of humanity into gold.
Osler, Sir William
Measure not the work until the day's out and the labor's done.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett
A dwarf on a giant's shoulders sees the further of the two.
Herbert, George
A human being must have occupation if he or she is not to become a nuisance to the world.
Dorothy L. Sayers
The working-class is now issuing from its hiding-place to assert an Englishman's heaven-born privilege of doing as he likes, and is beginning to perplex us by marching where it likes, meeting where it likes, bawling what it likes, breaking what it likes.
Arnold, Matthew
Deprived of meaningful work, men and women lose their reason for existence; they go stark, raving mad.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor
Beauty is also to be found in a day's work.
Burns, Mamie Sypert
If I had eight hours to chop down a tree, I'd spend six sharpening my ax.
Lincoln, Abraham
When a man tells you that he got rich through hard work, ask him:'Whose?'
Don Marquis
Blessed is that man who has found his work.
Hubbard, Elbert
Work is necessary for man. Man invented the alarm clock.
Picasso, Pablo
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
The achievements of an organization are the results of the combined effort of each individual.
Lombardi, Vince
If I went to work in a factory the first thing I'd do is join a union.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.
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
To work -- to work! It is such infinite delight to know that we still have the best things to do.
Mansfield, Katherine
Work consists of whatever a body is obliged to do, and play consists of whatever a body is not obliged to do.
Twain, Mark
I believe in work, hard work, and long hours of work. Men do not breakdown from overwork, but from worry and dissipation.
Hughes, Charles Evans
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
No longer diverted by other emotions, I work the way a cow grazes.
Kollwitz, KaThe
Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.
Theodore Roosevelt
How do I work? I grope.
Einstein, Albert
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
Pennies do not come from heaven -- they have to be earned here on earth.
Thatcher, Margaret
Work is more fun than fun.
Coward, Noel
Inspiration comes of working every day.
Baudelaire, Charles
You may be the only standard work somebody ever reads.
Every calling is great when greatly pursued.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell
By working hard, you get to play hard guilt-free.
Rohn, Jim
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.
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
Whatever muscles I have are the product of my own hard work and nothing else.
Ashford, Evelyn
It's not the hours you put in your work that counts, it's the work you put in the hours.
Sam Ewing
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. Memory and imagination help him as he works. Not only his own thoughts, but the thoughts of the men of past ages guide his hands; and, as part of the human race, he creates. If we work thus we shall be men, and our days will be happy and eventful.
Morris, William
Everything must degenerate into work if anything is to happen.
Drucker, Peter F.
Genius is one per cent inspiration, ninety-nine per cent perspiration.
Thomas A. Edison
Labor diligently to increase your property.
Horace
I do not know anyone who has gotten to the top without hard work. That is the recipe. It will not always get you to the top, but it will get you pretty near.
Thatcher, Margaret
The best work never was and never will be done for money.
Ruskin, John
