Famous quotes containing the word work:

    I must work, so as not to be a fool, to get on, to become a journalist, because that’s what I want!... I can’t imagine that I would have to lead the same sort of life as Mummy ... and all the women who do their work and are then forgotten. I must have something besides a husband and children, something that I can devote myself to!
    Anne Frank (1929–1945)

    At the Carter Center we work with victims of oppression, and we give support to human rights heroes.
    Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)

    ... whoever believes anything esteems that it is a work of charity to persuade another of it.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
