If we work upon marble, it will perish if we work upon brass, time will efface it if we rear temples, they will crumble into dust but if we work upon immortal minds and instill into them just principles, we are then engraving that upon tablets which no time will efface, but will brighten and brighten to all eternity. ~ Daniel Webster The reason why worry kills more people than work is that more people worry than work. ~ Robert Frost Instead of thinking about where you are, think about where you want to be. It takes twenty years of hard work to become an overnight success. ~ Diana Rankin When our eyes see our hands doing the work of our hearts, the circle of Creation is completed inside us, the doors of our souls fly open and love steps forth to heal everything in sight. ~ Michael Bridge And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever. ~ Bible, Isaiah 32:17 Marriage is based on the theory that when man discovers a brand of beer exactly to his taste he should at once throw up his job and go work in the brewery. ~ George Jean Nathan
I believe that to meet the challenge of the next century, human beings will have to develop a greater sense of universal responsibility. Each of us must learn to work not just for his or her own self, family or nation, but for the benefit of all mankind. ~ His Holiness the Dalai Lama, speech? in 1994 If A is success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x y is play and z is keeping your mouth shut. ~ Albert Einstein
I am a great believer in luck. The harder I work the more of it I seem to have. ~ Coleman Cox The aim of art, the aim of a life can only be to increase the sum of freedom and responsibility to be found in every man and in the world. It cannot, under any circumstances, be to reduce or suppress that freedom, even temporarily. No great work has ever been based on hatred and contempt. On the contrary, there is not a single true work of art that has not in the end added to the inner freedom of each person who has known and loved it. ~ Albert Camus The sweat of hard work is not to be displayed. It is much more graceful to appear favored by the gods. ~ Maxine Hong Kingston, The Woman Warrior, 1976 If you work on a lobster boat, sneaking up behind someone and pinching him is probably a joke that gets old real fast. ~ Jack Handey Deep Thoughts
