Famous quotes containing the word work:

    Men should not labor foolishly like brutes, but the brain and the body should always, or as much as possible, work and rest together, and then the work will be of such a kind that when the body is hungry the brain will be hungry also, and the same food will suffice for both; otherwise the food which repairs the waste energy of the overwrought body will oppress the sedentary brain, and the degenerate scholar will come to esteem all food vulgar, and all getting a living drudgery.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    I look on that man as happy, who, when there is question of success, looks into his work for a reply, not into the market, not into opinion, not into patronage.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    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)
