| |  | | | | | | | | | | | Work is not man's punishment. It is his reward and his strength and his pleasure. | | George Sand | | | Work is of two kinds: first, altering the position of matter at or near the earth's surface relative to other matter; second, telling other people to do so. | | Bertrand Russell | | | Work is often the father of pleasure. | | Voltaire | | | | | Work is the grand cure for all maladies and miseries that ever beset mankind - honest work, which you intend getting done | | Thomas Carlyle | | | 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. | | William Osler | | | | | Work is the refuge of people who have nothing better to do | | Oscar Wilde | | | Work spares us from three evils: boredom, vice, and need | | Voltaire | | | Work while it is called today, for you know not how much you will be hindered tomorrow. One today is worth two tomorrow's; never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today. | | Benjamin Franklin | | | Work: a dangerous disorder affecting high public functionaries who want to go fishing | | Ambrose Bierce | | | Working for a federal agency was like trying to dislodge a prune skin from the roof of the mouth. More enterprise went into the job than could be justified by the results. | | Caskie Stinnett | | | You'll never succeed in idealizing hard work. Before you can dig mother earth you've got to take off your ideal jacket. The harder a man works, at brute labor, the thinner becomes his idealism, the darker his mind. | | D.H. Lawrence | | | Your work is to discover your world and then with all your heart give yourself to it. | | Buddha | | | | | | | |
