Work Quotes
-
We cannot look backwards. What we have to do is raise our heads, look forward, roll up our sleeves and work.
Roberto Azevedo
-
You, methinks you think you love me well;
For me, I love you somewhat; rest: and Love
Should have some rest and pleasure in himself,
Not ever be too curious for a boon,
Too prurient for a proof against the grain
Of him ye say ye love: but Fame with men,
Being but ampler means to serve mankind,
Should have small rest or pleasure in herself,
But work as vassal to the larger love,
That dwarfs the petty love of one to one.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
-
Once you make decisions, you can't go back, but in photography, that process can continue. With film, you have to eliminate all the possibilities and make the one possibility work the best for you, so you have to become very creative with the direction you've chosen.
Anton Corbijn
-
If you're doing creative work, that work should never feel trivial - even if what you're doing is for hire or lightly intended. Even the mundane doesn't have to be trivial.
Lydia Millet
-
If you’re homeless but work hard someday you can get a lime-green Kia.
Colton Dunn
-
A man can never be idle with safety and advantage until he has been so trained by work that he makes his freedom from times and tasks more fruitful than his toil has been.
Hamilton Wright Mabie
-
As a general rule, man strives to avoid labor. Love for work is not at all an inborn characteristic: it is created by economic pressure and social education. One may even say that man is a fairly lazy animal. It is on this quality, in reality, that is founded to a considerable extent all human progress; because if man did not strive to expend his energy economically, did not seek to receive the largest possible quantity of products in return for a small quantity of energy, there would have been no technical development or social culture.
Leon Trotsky
-
Everyone finds my work super sad. I never do. I always find it uplifting in a weird way.
Jeff Lemire
-
I think that there is no doubt that every experience you have in your life, whether it's playing a character or something else, you bring that to the work.
Kevin Spacey
-
Any work that is not rooted in myth and poetry or that does not partake of the depth and essence of the universe is merely a ghost.
Hans Arp
-
The work is going well, but it looks like it might be the end of the world.
Elizabeth Kolbert
-
Compare the credit for a football touchdown, which might be shared by the receiver not only with the quarterback, but also with the linesmen who make crucial protective plays, etc. The success of the touchdown play depends on the receiver, it is true; but in a particular case it might depend far more on the work of others.
Ernest Sosa
