Famous quotes containing the words work and/or achievements:

    “The truth is, there is money buried everywhere, and you have only to go to work to find it.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Freedom of enterprise was from the beginning not altogether a blessing. As the liberty to work or to starve, it spelled toil, insecurity, and fear for the vast majority of the population. If the individual were no longer compelled to prove himself on the market, as a free economic subject, the disappearance of this freedom would be one of the greatest achievements of civilization.”
    —Herbert Marcuse (1898–1979)
