Famous quotes containing the words work as and/or work:

    You live on hopes, I guess. You always dream that someday you might have a lot of money, your ship might come in. But if the ship doesn’t come in, I’m going to work as long as I can.
    Marion Gray (b. c. 1914)

    Bless you, of course you’re keeping me from work,
    But the thing of it is, I need to be kept.
    There’s work enough to do there’s always that;
    But behind’s behind. The worst that you can do
    Is set me back a little more behind.
    I shan’t catch up in this world, anyway.
    I’d rather you’d not go unless you must.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
