Famous quotes containing the word work:

    To write the lives of the great in separating them from their works necessarily ends by above all stressing their pettiness, because it is in their work that they have put the best of themselves.
    Simone Weil (1909–1943)

    It is not easy to imagine how little interested a scientist usually is in the work of any other, with the possible exception of the teacher who backs him or the student who honors him.
    Jean Rostand (1894–1977)

    If your work is made more easy
    By a friendly, helping hand,
    Say so.
    —Unknown. If You Have a Friend (l. 31–33)
