Famous quotes containing the word work:
“There is absolutely no evidence—developmental or otherwise—to support separating twins in school as a general policy. . . . The best policy seems to be no policy at all, which means that each year, you and your children need to decide what will work best for you.”
—Pamela Patrick Novotny (20th century)
“I’m a lumberjack
And I’m OK,
I sleep all night
And I work all day.”
