Famous quotes containing the word work:

    “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to do all the work by myself? Tell her then to help me.”
    —Bible: New Testament, Luke 10:40.

    Martha to Jesus.

    “It is not merely the likeness which is precious ... but the association and the sense of nearness involved in the thing ... the fact of the very shadow of the person lying there fixed forever! It is the very sanctification of portraits I think—and it is not at all monstrous in me to say ... that I would rather have such a memorial of one I dearly loved, than the noblest Artist’s work ever produced.”
    —Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

    “Let’s holler and ask him if he won’t prescribe

    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
