Famous quotes containing the word work:

    “But the doctrine of the Farm is merely this, that every man ought to stand in primary relations to the work of the world, ought to do it himself, and not to suffer the accident of his having a purse in his pocket, or his having been bred to some dishonorable and injurious craft, to sever him from those duties.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “I did nothing but work. I made work my hobby. I was lucky that way.”
    —Mary Roebling (1905–1994)

    “We work to eat to get the strength to work to eat to get the strength to work to eat to get the strength to work to eat to get the strength to work.”
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
