Famous quotes containing the words life and/or work:

    As life developed, I faced each problem as it came along. As my activities and work broadened and reached out, I never tried to shirk. I tried never to evade an issue. When I found I had something to do—I just did it.
    Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)

    The true finish is the work of time, and the use to which a thing is put. The elements are still polishing the pyramids.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
