Famous quotes containing the word work:

    Work is a sovereign remedy for all ills, and a man who loves to work will never be unhappy.
    Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)

    To lift, to fetch, to drive, to shed, to pen,
    Are acts I recognize, with all they mean
    Of shepherding the unruly, for a kind of
    Controlled woolgathering is my work too.
    Cecil Day Lewis (1904–1972)

    “The work is done,” grown old he thought,
    “According to my boyish plan;
    Let the fools rage, I swerved in nought,
    Something to perfection brought;”
    But louder sang that ghost “What then?”
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
