Work Perfect

Famous quotes containing the words work and/or perfect:

    And now my work is done, which neither the anger of
    Jove, nor fire, nor sword, nor the gnawing tooth of time
    shall ever be able to undo.... Wherever Rome’s power
    extends over the conquered world, I shall have mention
    on men’s lips.
    Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)

    With sudden roar and aged pine-tree falls,—
    One crash, the death-hymn of the perfect tree,
    Declares the close of its green century.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
