Famous quotes containing the word work:
“We have not the motive to prepare ourselves for a “life-work” of teaching, of social work—we know that we would lay it down with hallelujah in the height of our success, to make a home for the right man. And all the time in the background of our consciousness rings the warning that perhaps the right man will never come. A great love is given to very few. Perhaps this make-shift time filler of a job is our life work after all.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
“Many people mistake our work for our vocation. Our vocation is the love of Jesus.”
—Mother Teresa (b. 1910)
“A work of art is an echo chamber which repeats what people say about it.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
