Thread Work

Famous quotes containing the words thread and/or work:

    “Oh sure, everyone goes back to the earth at some point, but life itself is a thread that is never broken, never lost. Do you know why? Because each man makes a knot in the thread during his lifetime: it is the work he has done and that’s what gives life to life in the long stretch of time: the usefulness of man on this earth.”
    —Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)

    “It is easy to see that what is best written or done by genius in the world, was no man’s work but came by wide social labor, when a thousand wrought like one, sharing the same impulse.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
