Famous quotes containing the word work:

    I long to be out in the sun with no work to be done.
    Irving Berlin (1888–1989)

    As for my own business, even that kind of surveying which I could do with most satisfaction my employers do not want. They would prefer that I should do my work coarsely and not too well, ay, not well enough. When I observe that there are different ways of surveying, my employer commonly asks which will give him the most land, not which is most correct.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The true finish is the work of time, and the use to which a thing is put. The elements are still polishing the pyramids.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
