Galbraith Work

Famous quotes containing the words galbraith and/or work:

    It is a far, far better thing to have a firm anchor in nonsense than to put out on the troubled seas of thought.
    —John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)

    Work, as we usually think of it, is energy expended for a further end in view; play is energy expended for its own sake, as with children’s play, or as manifestation of the end or goal of work, as in “playing” chess or the piano. Play in this sense, then, is the fulfillment of work, the exhibition of what the work has been done for.
    Northrop Frye (1912–1991)
