Famous quotes containing the word work:

    Many a reformer perishes in his removal of rubbish,—and that makes the offensiveness of the class. They are partial; they are not equal to the work they pretend. They lose their way; in the assault on the kingdom of darkness, they expend all their energy on some accidental evil, and lose their sanity and power of benefit.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    ... any citizen should be willing to give all that he has to give his country in work or sacrifice in times of crisis.
    Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)

    Poets that lasting Marble seek
    Must carve in Latine or in Greek,
    We write in Sand, our Language grows,
    And like the Tide our work o’erflows.
    Edmund Waller (1606–1687)
