SOME QUOTES ON WORK

 

                SOME QUOTES ON WORK

            “Work” is  defined as  activity involving mental or physical effort done in order to achieve a purpose or result.

            Some synonyms of work are: effort, exertion, labour, toil, job, trade, profession, employment, vocation, calling, craft, career, business, occupation, and function.

            Work is worship is a proverb which means that we should respect and worship our work as we worship God.  It teaches us to do our work with full dedication and devotion.

            Work is also a duty, rather a sacred duty. It should never  be neglected. On the other hand it should be done punctually and most faithfully.

            Look at the following quotes:

*The victory of success is half won when one gains the habit of work. –Sara A. Bolton

*It is the biggest mistake to think you are working for someone else.—Nashua Cavalier

*Work as if you were to live 100 years. Pray as if you were to die tomorrow.---Benjamin Franklin.

*We work day after day, not to finish things; but to make the future better. ---Charles F. Kettering.

*Man must work. That is certain as the sun. But he may work grudgingly or he may work gracefully; he may work as a man, or he may work as a machine. There is no work so rude, that he may not exalt it; no work so impassive, that he may not breathe a soul into it; no work so dull that he may not enliven it.----Henry Giles.

 

                        Work is life. Even iron shines when it is used. Idleness is rust. Not to use your faculties actively is to kill them through slow poisoning.

                        Good things come to those who work really hard.

                        Never forget that work is livelihood.

                        The American inventor Thomas Alva Edison (1847-1931) said : I never did anything worth doing by accident, nor did any of my inventions come by accident.       

                        According to the Polish-British novelist Joseph Conrad (1857-1924):A  man is a worker. If he is not that he is nothing.

                        And finally these words of an American politician, academic and jurist Charles Evans Hughes (1862-1948):

                        “I believe in work, hard work and long hours of work. Men do not break down from overwork, but from worry and dissipation.”
