Famous quotes containing the word work:
“Bless you, of course youre keeping me from work,
But the thing of it is, I need to be kept.
Theres work enough to do theres always that;
But behinds behind. The worst that you can do
Is set me back a little more behind.
I shant catch up in this world, anyway.
Id rather youd not go unless you must.”
—Robert Frost (18741963)

What is man, that thou art mindful of him?”
—Bible: Hebrew Psalm VIII (l. VIII, 34)
“The theater needs continual reminders that there is nothing more debasing than the work of those who do well what is not worth doing at all.”
