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 (19221986)
“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)
