Famous quotes containing the word worked:

    An artist’s originality is balanced by a corresponding conservatism, a superstitiousness, about it; which might be boiled down to “What worked before will work again.”
    Nancy Hale (b. 1908)

    Let a man learn to look for the permanent in the mutable and fleeting; let him learn to bear the disappearance of things he was wont to reverence; without losing his reverence; let him learn that he is here, not to work, but to be worked upon; and that, though abyss open under abyss, and opinion displace opinion, all are at last contained in the Eternal Cause.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
