Best Quotes about Work

The fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results.

Always work hard on something uncomfortably exciting.

Larry Page

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

Hal Lancaster

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.

In an earthquake, the most dangerous place to be is in a tall building that is not flexible. Yet, one of the safest places is a tall building that has been stressed for earthquakes -- - in other words, one that has a deep foundation and is flexible. So, too, over the coming years, large organizations that remain rigid will crumble and fall, while those that succeed in adding flexibility, teamwork and creativity to their cultures will thrive.

Hard work is the key to success, so work diligently on any project you undertake. If you truly want to be successful, be prepared to give up your leisure time and work past 5 PM and on weekends.

You all know that even when women have full rights, they still remain fatally downtrodden because all housework is left to them.

Coolidge, Calvin

17.

Intimate or drastic elements in the work of others are untouchable and should not be commented upon even in their absence.

Gibran, Kahlil

22.

Work is a four letter word!

If you haven't found it yet, keep looking and don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you've found it.
