Famous quotes containing the word job:
“Pray for me! I reckon if she knowed me she’d take a job that was more nearer her size. But I bet she done it, just the same—she was just the kind. She had the grit to pray for Judus if she took the notion.”

“We have not the motive to prepare ourselves for a “life-work” of teaching, of social work—we know that we would lay it down with hallelujah in the height of our success, to make a home for the right man. And all the time in the background of our consciousness rings the warning that perhaps the right man will never come. A great love is given to very few. Perhaps this make-shift time filler of a job is our life work after all.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
“Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man who fears God and turns away from evil.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Job 1:8.
