Famous quotes containing the words work and/or experience:
“Our kids will develop a work ethic only if we require them to pay a portion of the cost of some of the things they want. They’ll learn to defer gratification the moment we stop routinely pulling out our wallets. And they’ll learn self-discipline only if we care enough to enforce reasonable limits.”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
“Technology ... the knack of so arranging the world that we don’t have to experience it.”
—Max Frisch (b. 1911)
