Famous quotes containing the word work:

    The last thing one discovers in composing a work is what to put first.
    Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

    They that goe downe to ‘th sea in ships:
    Their busines there to doo
    In waters great. The Lords work see,
    I’th deep his wonders too.
    —Bible: Hebrew Psalm CVII (Bay Psalm Book)

    Gratefully accepting the proffered honor, [to inscribe a new legal work to him] I give the leave, begging only that the inscription may be in modest terms, not representing me as a man of great learning, or a very extraordinary one in any respect.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
