Famous quotes containing the word work:

    “The common experience is, that the man fits himself as well as he can to the customary details of that work or trade he falls into, and tends it as a dog turns a spit. Then he is part of the machine he moves; the man is lost.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Sleep, beloved, such a sleep
    As did that wild Tristram know
    When, the potion’s work being done,
    Roe could run or doe could leap
    Under oak and beechen bough,
    Roe could leap or doe could run....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.”
    —Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919)
