Worked

Famous quotes containing the word worked:

    These last worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.
    Bible: New Testament, Matthew 20:12.

    The weakness of modern tragedy ... [is that] transgression against the social code is made to bring destruction, as though the social code worked our irrevocable fate.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    I have never worked for fame or praise, and shall not feel their loss as I otherwise would. I have never for a moment lost sight of the humble life I was born to, its small environments, and the consequently little right I had to expect much of myself, and shall have the less to censure, or upbraid myself with for the failures I must see myself make.
    Clara Barton (1821–1912)
