Famous quotes containing the word work:

    “If the heart beguiles itself in its choice [of a wife], and imagination will give excellencies which are not the portion of flesh and blood:Mwhen the dream is over, and we awake in the morning, it matters little whether ‘tis Rachael or Leah,—be the object what it will, as it must be on the earthly side ... of perfection,—it will fall short of the work of fancy, whose existence is in the clouds.”
    —Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

    “Our kids will develop a work ethic only if we require them to pay a portion of the cost of some of the things they want. They’ll learn to defer gratification the moment we stop routinely pulling out our wallets. And they’ll learn self-discipline only if we care enough to enforce reasonable limits.”
    —Fred G. Gosman (20th century)

    “At the Carter Center we work with victims of oppression, and we give support to human rights heroes.”
    —Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
