Work Quotes, Sayings about working

We could use one of the best quotes about work that many people in the older generation will recognize. In the 1950s and 1960s a TV character simply said “Work!!” when the idea was mentioned. But there are many other points of view about the subject of work. Some see work as going to the same location every day, completing an assigned task, and bringing home a paycheck. Others see work as any activity that makes life worthwhile, advising people to always do what you love to do (make that your work). Between these two extremes are other ideas about work.

These vary from: the benefits of hard work; the attitude people have about something they have to do or want to do; how much work is necessary to make something happen; the chance to do something exciting and important, an opportunity that comes rarely in life. Others have viewed work as the real activity that follows our best-laid plans. There are also some humorous views of work that help lighten the load a bit, since the majority of people have to make their way through each day for the “reward” of having a paycheck that is already committed to life’s necessities. Opinions and quotes about work vary as much as the jobs we have.
