Famous quotes containing the word work:

    Bless you, of course you’re keeping me from work,
    But the thing of it is, I need to be kept.
    There’s work enough to do there’s always that;
    But behind’s behind. The worst that you can do
    Is set me back a little more behind.
    I shan’t catch up in this world, anyway.
    I’d rather you’d not go unless you must.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men. No machine can do the work of one extraordinary man.
    Elbert Hubbard (1856–1915)

    The truth of the thoughts that are here set forth seems to me unassailable and definitive. I therefore believe myself to have found, on all essential points, the final solution of the problems. And if I am not mistaken in this belief, then the second thing in which the value of this work consists is that it shows how little is achieved when these problems are solved.
    Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
