By working faithfully eight hours a day you may eventually get to be boss and work twelve hours a day.

The brain is a wonderful organ; It starts working the moment you get up in the morning and does not stop until you get into the office.

The taxpayer - that's someone who works for the federal government but doesn't have to take the civil service examination.

I never did anything worth doing by accident, nor did any of my inventions come by accident; they came by work.

The beginning is the most important part of the work.

What I know is, is that if you do work that you love, and the work fulfills you, the rest will come.

I would rather make mistakes in kindness and compassion than work miracles in unkindness and hardness.

The miracle is not that we do this work, but that we are happy to do it.

Our life of poverty is as necessary as the work itself. Only in heaven will we see how much we owe to the poor for helping us to love god better because of them.

Let us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely and the unwanted according to the graces we have received and let us not be ashamed or slow to do the humble work.

My great hope is to laugh as much as I cry; to get my work done and try to love somebody and have the courage to accept the love in return.

All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence.

What is success? I think it is a mixture of having a flair for the thing that you are doing; knowing that it is not enough, that you have got to have hard work and a certain sense of purpose.

One and one is two, and two and two is four, and five will get you ten if you know how to work it.
