Task

Famous quotes containing the word task:

“The true object of all human life is play. Earth is a task garden; heaven is a playground.”

“He who has a task to perform must know how to take sides, or he is quite unworthy of it.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

“Now the hungry lion roars,
And the wolf behowls the moon;
Whilst the heavy ploughman snores,
All with weary task fordone.
Now the wasted brands do glow,
Whilst the screech-owl, screeching loud,
Puts the wretch that lies in woe
In remembrance of a shroud.
Now it is the time of night,
That the graves, all gaping wide,
Every one lets forth his sprite,
In the church-way paths to glide:”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
