Famous quotes containing the word work:

    “Art should exhilarate, and throw down the walls of circumstance on every side, awakening in the beholder the same sense of universal relation and power which the work evinced in the artist, and its highest effect is to make new artists.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Let’s holler and ask him if he won’t prescribe
    For all humanity a complete rest
    From all this wagery. But what’s the use
    Of asking any sympathy of him?
    That class of people don’t know what work is....”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “Juggling produces both practical and psychological benefits.... A woman’s involvement in one role can enhance her functioning in another. Being a wife can make it easier to work outside the home. Being a mother can facilitate the activities and foster the skills of the efficient wife or of the effective worker. And employment outside the home can contribute in substantial, practical ways to how one works within the home, as a spouse and as a parent.”
    —Faye J. Crosby (20th century)
