These are really great quotes, I enjoyed reading every one, thank you Shawn.
Here are some quotes I found to share that are work related:
It can be said that the primary objective of the multitude to work is, for survival and for tangible material reward.
A man’s work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened.
Albert Camus
All labour that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing.
Thomas A. Edison
Work is not man’s punishment. It is his reward and his strength and his pleasure.
George Sand
We all need to experience life, through work we experience living.
Have a wonderful day!
