Famous quotes containing the word worked:

    It never worked for me.
    Something to do with violence
    A long way back, and wrong rewards,
    And arrogant eternity.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    I do not want to be covetous, but I think I speak the minds of many a wife and mother when I say I would willingly work as hard as possible all day and all night, if I might be sure of a small profit, but have worked hard for twenty-five years and have never known what it was to receive a financial compensation and to have what was really my own.
    Emma Watrous, U.S. inventor. As quoted in Feminine Ingenuity, ch. 8, by Anne L. MacDonald (1992)
