Famous quotes containing the word work:
“Perpetual modernness is the measure of merit in every work of art.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Erasmus was the light of his century; others were its strength: he lighted the way; others knew how to walk on it while he himself remained in the shadow as the source of light always does. But he who points the way into a new era is no less worthy of veneration than he who is the first to enter it; those who work invisibly have also accomplished a feat.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
