Famous quotes containing the word work:

    “Never be afraid to meet to the hilt the demand of either work or friendship—two of life’s major assets.”
    —Eleanor Robson Belmont (1878–1979)

    “As long as the “woman’s work” that some men do is socially devalued, as long as it is defined as woman’s work, as long as it’s tacked onto a “regular” work day, men who share it are likely to develop the same jagged mouth and frazzled hair as the coffee-mug mom. The image of the new man is like the image of the supermom: it obscures the strain.”
    —Arlie Hochschild (20th century)

    “But a man must keep an eye on his servants, if he would not have them rule him. Man is a shrewd inventor, and is ever taking the hint of a new machine from his own structure, adapting some secret of his own anatomy in iron, wood, and leather, to some required function in the work of the world. But it is found that the machine unmans the user. What he gains in making cloth, he loses in general power.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
