Famous quotes containing the words work and/or life:
“Men should not labor foolishly like brutes, but the brain and the body should always, or as much as possible, work and rest together, and then the work will be of such a kind that when the body is hungry the brain will be hungry also, and the same food will suffice for both; otherwise the food which repairs the waste energy of the overwrought body will oppress the sedentary brain, and the degenerate scholar will come to esteem all food vulgar, and all getting a living drudgery.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“You want to prepare your child to think as he gets older. You want him to be critical in his judgments. Teaching a child, by your example, that theres never any room for negotiating or making choices in life may suggest that you expect blind obediencebut it wont help him in the long run to be discriminating in choices and thinking.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
