Famous quotes containing the word work:

    “Irish was a man of parts even if some of them didn’t work too well.”
    —Angela Carter (1940–1992)

    “This life is a war we are not yet
    winning for our daughters’ children.
    Don’t do your enemies’ work for them.
    Finish your own.”
    —Marge Piercy (b. 1936)

    “As for my own business, even that kind of surveying which I could do with most satisfaction my employers do not want. They would prefer that I should do my work coarsely and not too well, ay, not well enough. When I observe that there are different ways of surveying, my employer commonly asks which will give him the most land, not which is most correct.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
