Famous quotes containing the word work:
“The great work must inevitably be obscure, except to the very few, to those who like the author himself are initiated into the mysteries. Communication then is secondary: it is perpetuation which is important. For this only one good reader is necessary.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
“Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.”
—Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919)
“Read the Bible. Work hard and honestly. And don’t complain.”
—Billy Graham (b. 1918)
