  • The uncertainties of the present always give way to the enchanted possibilities of the future. You are destined for greatness. Enjoy your journey and remember to have fun.
  • Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
  • Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. (Thomas Edison)

  • If you have a job without aggravations, you don’t have a job.

  • Hard work never killed anybody, but why take a change?
  • Get happiness out of your work of you may never know what happiness is
  • Measure not the work until the day’s out and the labor done.
  • Getting fired is nature’s way to telling you that you had the wrong job in the first place.
  • Derive happiness in oneself from a good day’s work, from illuminating the fog that surrounds us.
  • Work while you have the light. You are responsible for the talent that has been entrusted to you.
  • Do not hire a man who does your work for money, but him who does it for love of it.
  • When your work speaks for itself, don’t interrupt.
  • Life grants nothing to us mortals without hard work.
  • People forget how fast you did a job -  but they remember how well you did it.

  • By the work one knows the workmen.
  • In order that people may be happy in their work, these three things are needed: They must be fit for it: They must not do too much of it: And they must have a sense of success in it.
  • Never continue in a job you don’t enjoy. If you’re happy in what you’re doing, you’ll like yourself, you’ll have inner peace. And if you have that, along with physical health, you will have had more success than you could possibly have imagined.
  • My work is a game, a very serious game.
  • The sweat of hard work is not to be displayed. It is much more graceful to appear favored by the gods.
