Famous quotes containing the word work:
“It is the privilege of any human work which is well done to invest the doer with a certain haughtiness. He can well afford not to conciliate, whose faithful work will answer for him.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The dominant and most deep-dyed trait of the journalist is his timorousness. Where the novelist fearlessly plunges into the water of self-exposure, the journalist stands trembling on the shore in his beach robe.... The journalist confines himself to the clean, gentlemanly work of exposing the griefs and shames of others.”
—Janet Malcolm (b. 1934)
“Lazybones, sleepin’ in the sun, how you ‘spec’ to get your day’s work done?”
—Johnny Mercer (1909–1976)
