Quotations by Subject: Work (71 quotes)

Results from Poor Man's College:

If you do not feel yourself growing in your work and your life broadening and deepening, if your task is not a perpetual tonic to you, you have not found your place.: Orison Swett Marden (1850 - 1924)
Blessed is the man who has some congenial work, some occupation in which he can put his heart, and which affords a complete outlet to all the forces there are in him.: John Burroughs (1837 - 1921)
The aim of art, the aim of a life can only be to increase the sum of freedom and responsibility to be found in every man and in the world. It cannot, under any circumstances, be to reduce or suppress that freedom, even temporarily. No great work has ever been based on hatred and contempt. On the contrary, there is not a single true work of art that has not in the end added to the inner freedom of each person who has known and loved it.: Albert Camus (1913 - 1960)
People who have accomplished work worthwhile have had a very high sense of the way to do things. They have not been content with mediocrity. They have not confined themselves to the beaten tracks; they have never been satisfied to do things just as others so them, but always a little better. They always pushed things that came to their hands a little higher up, this little farther on, that counts in the quality of life's work. It is constant effort to be first-class in everything one attempts that conquers the heights of excellence.: Orison Swett Marden (1850 - 1924)
Much good work is lost for the lack of a little more.: Edward Harriman
Every job is a self-portrait of the person who did it. Autograph your work with excellence.: Commitment To Excellence
Good leadership consists in showing average people how to do the work of superior people.: John D. Rockefeller (1839 - 1937)
There are many shining qualities on the mind of man; but none so useful as discretion. It is this which gives a value to all the rest, and sets them at work in their proper places, and turns them to the advantage of their possessor. Without it, learning is pedantry; wit, impertinence; virtue itself looks like weakness; and the best parts only qualify a man to be more sprightly in errors, and active to his own prejudice. Though a man has all other perfections and wants discretion, he will be of no great consequence in the world; but if he has this single talent in perfection, and but a common share of others, he may do what he pleases in his station of life.: Joseph Addison (1672 - 1719)
Nature is at work.. Character and destiny are her handiwork. She gives us love and hate, jealousy and reverence. All that is ours is the power to choose which impulse we shall follow.: David Seabury
We can lick gravity, but sometimes the paperwork is overwhelming.: Wernher Von Braun (1912 - 1977)
