Famous quotes containing the word work:
“To be sure, a good work of art can and will have moral consequences, but to demand of the artists moral intentions, means ruining their craft.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“Women are in bondage; their clothes are a great hindrance to their engaging in any business which will make them pecuniarily independent, and since the soul of womanhood never can be queenly and noble so long as it must beg bread for its body, is it not better, even at the expense of a vast deal of annoyance, that they whose lives deserve respect and are greater than their garments should give an example by which woman may more easily work out her own emancipation?”
—Lucy Stone (1818–1893)
“Your children and grandchildren will have their share of happiness; there’s no need to work a like a horse for them.”
—Chinese proverb.
