Work Quotes
I have always argued that change becomes stressful and overwhelming only when you've lost any sense of the constancy of your life. You need firm ground to stand on. From there, you can deal with that change. I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work. I think the person who takes a job in order to live - that is to say, for the money - has turned himself into a slave. I'm working myself to death. If you don't want to work you have to work to earn enough money so that you won't have to work. If you put all your strength and faith and vigor into a job and try to do the best you can, the money will come. It can be liberating to get fired because you realize the world doesn't end. There's other ways to make money, better jobs. It is your work in life that is the ultimate seduction. It's a shame that the only thing a man can do for eight hours a day is work. He can't eat for eight hours; he can't drink for eight hours; he can't make love for eight hours. The only thing a man can do for eight hours is work. Laziness may appear attractive, but work gives satisfaction. Life grants nothing to us mortals without hard work. Men for the sake of getting a living forget to live.

Nothing is work unless you'd rather be doing something else. Nothing will work unless you do. Opportunities are usually disguised as hard work, so most people don't recognize them. Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. Plans are only good intentions unless they immediately degenerate into hard work. Teaching was the hardest work I had ever done, and it remains the hardest work I have done to date.
