Famous quotes containing the word work:
“It is a mistake to expect good work from expatriates for it is not what they do that matters but what they are not doing.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
“The best thing about Sassy Seats is that grandmothers cannot figure out how they work and are in constant fear of the child’s falling. This often makes them forget to comment on other aspects of the child’s development, like why he is not yet talking or is still wearing diapers. Some grandmothers will spend an entire meal peering beneath the table and saying, “Is that thing steady?” rather than, “Have you had a doctor look at that left hand?””
—Anna Quindlen (20th century)
“So your work and you shall reinforce yourself.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
