Famous quotes containing the word work:

    Whate’er we leave to God, God does,
    And blesses us;
    The work we choose should be our own,
    God leaves alone.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    And now my work is done, which neither the anger of
    Jove, nor fire, nor sword, nor the gnawing tooth of time
    shall ever be able to undo.... Wherever Rome’s power
    extends over the conquered world, I shall have mention
    on men’s lips.
    Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)

    We must work earnestly in the best light He gives us.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
