Famous quotes containing the word work:

    Evil gains work their punishment.
    Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)

    Weary with toil, I haste me to my bed,
    The dear repose for limbs with travel tired;
    But then begins a journey in my head
    To work my mind, when body’s work’s expired:
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
