Work


 If you want to kill any idea in the world, get a committee working on it.

 In every good work trust thy own soul; for this is the keeping of the commandments.

 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

 It is easy to fool yourself. It is possible to fool the people you work for. It is more difficult to fool the people you work with. But it is almost impossible to fool the people who work under you.

 It is for us to pray not for tasks equal to our powers, but for powers equal to our tasks, to go forward with a great desire forever beating at the door of our hearts as we travel toward our distant goal.
  Helen Keller

 It is now possible to abolish work and replace it, insofar as it serves useful purposes, with a multitude of new kinds of free activities. To abolish work requires going at it from two directions, quantitative and qualitative. On the one hand, on the quantitative side, we have to cut down massively on the amount of work being done. At present most work is useless or worse and we should simply get rid of it. On the other hand -- and I think this the crux of the matter and the revolutionary new departure -- we have to take what useful work remains and transform it into a pleasing variety of game-like and craft-like pastimes, indistinguishable from other pleasurable pastimes, except that they happen to yield useful end-products.

 It's no credit to anyone to work too hard
  Edgar Watson Howe

 It´s easy to make things look hard but hard to make things look easy.

 Laziness is a secret ingredient that goes into failure. But it's only kept a secret from the person who fails.

 Liberals say we should end employment discrimination. I say we should end employment.

 Loyal and efficient work in a great cause, even though it may not be immediately recognized, ultimately bears fruit

 Men are not human beings,they are human doings

 My father taught me to work; he did not teach me to love it. I never did like to work, and I don't deny it. I'd rather read, tell stories, crack jokes, talk, laugh - anything but work.
  Abraham Lincoln

 My work always tried to unite the true with the beautiful; but when I had to choose one or the other, I usually chose the beautiful.
  Tom Stoppard

 Naked a man comes from his mother’s womb,
and as he comes, so he departs.
He takes nothing from his labor
that he can carry in his hand.
