Famous quotes containing the word work:

    A work which is not here: a covenant
    ‘Twill be between us; but, whatever fate
    Befal thee, I shall love thee to the last,
    And bear thy memory with me to the grave.”
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    Obvious enough that generalities work to protect the mind from the great outdoors; is it possible that this was in fact their first purpose?
    Howard Nemerov (1920–1991)

    Work is a responsibility most adults assume, a burden at times, a complication, but also a challenge that, like children, requires enormous energy and that holds the potential for qualitative, as well as quantitative, rewards. Isn’t this the only constructive perspective for women who have no choice but to work? And isn’t it a more healthy attitude for women writhing with guilt because they choose to compound the challenges of motherhood with work they enjoy?
    Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
