Working Quotes

Don't rule out working with your hands. It does not preclude using your head.
Andy Rooney

Head, Hands, Rule

Instead of working for the survival of the fittest, we should be working for the survival of the wittiest - then we can all die laughing.
Lily Tomlin

Die, Survival, Laughing

You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying, to run by running, to work by working; in just the same way, you learn to love by loving.
Anatole France

Love, Work, Same

I want to give the audience a hint of a scene. No more than that. Give them too much and they won't contribute anything themselves. Give them just a suggestion and you get them working with you. That's what gives the theater meaning: when it becomes a social act.
Orson Welles

Give, Themselves, Social

If you are working 50 hours a week in a factory, you don't have time to read 10 newspapers a day and go back to declassified government archives. But such people may have far-reaching insights into the way the world works.

The business of the poet is not to find new emotions, but to use the ordinary ones and, in working them up into poetry, to express feelings which are not in actual emotions at all.
T. S. Eliot

Business, Poetry, Feelings

The Beliebers have done some pretty crazy stuff. Last week, the night before I was due to do a show in Germany, four girls went into a dumpster so they could sneak into the building. They climbed in and hid. When the guys working on the truck started getting the garbage they found them straight away. It was crazy.
Justin Bieber

Crazy, Done, Night

Mothers always find ways to fit in the work - but then when you're working, you feel that you should be spending time with your children and then when you're with your children, you're thinking about working.
Alice Hoffman

Work, Time, Children

If you're working for a good company and you're happy there, and you're being compensated accordingly, and your work satisfies you, you should stay there.
Robert Kiyosaki

Work, Good, Happy

Our bodies are shaped to bear children, and our lives are a working out of the processes of creation. All our ambitions and intelligence are beside that great elemental point.
Saint Augustine

Great, Children, Lives

You have to stay faithful to what you're working on.
Stephen King

Working hard is great, being lazy sometimes is great, but failed potential is the worst.
Campbell Scott

Great, Hard, Lazy

After all, the best part of a holiday is perhaps not so much to be resting yourself, as to see all the other fellows busy working.
Kenneth Grahame

Best, Yourself, Busy

The point is not to take the world's opinion as a guiding star but to go one's way in life and working unerringly, neither depressed by failure nor seduced by applause.
Gustav Mahler

Life, Failure, Opinion

It's when we start working together that the real healing takes place... it's when we start spilling our sweat, and not our blood.
David Hume

Real, Together, Healing

Democrats think the country works better with a strong middle class, real opportunities for poor people to work their way into it and a relentless focus on the future, with business and government working together to promote growth and broadly shared prosperity. We think 'we're all in this together' is a better philosophy than 'you're on your own.'
William J. Clinton

Work, Government, Business

Every successful individual knows that his or her achievement depends on a community of persons working together.
Paul Ryan

Successful, Together, Her

I don't think about art when I'm working. I try to think about life.
Jean-Michel Basquiat

Our attitudes control our lives. Attitudes are a secret power working twenty-four hours a day, for good or bad. It is of paramount importance that we know how to harness and control this great force.
Irving Berlin

Good, Great, Power

And in my own life, in my own small way, I've tried to give back to this country that has given me so much. That's why I left a job at a law firm for a career in public service, working to empower young people to volunteer in their communities. Because I believe that each of us - no matter what our age or background or walk of life - each of us has something to contribute to the life of this nation.
Michelle Obama

If I had never ventured beyond being a stand-up comic, then I would be sitting in my house today working on my Leonardo DiCaprio impression.
Jim Carrey

Today, House, Beyond

I'm hopeless at looking into myself and trying to see how things are working and why.
Tom Stoppard

Trying, Why, Hopeless

We can safely abandon the doctrine of the eighties, namely that the rich were not working because they had too little money, the poor because they had much.
John Kenneth Galbraith

Money, Rich, Poor

Puff Daddy

Sleep, Night, Problem

A working woman could save a few shillings a week, and then every five weeks she'd come in and we'd cut her hair. She could shampoo it under the shower, swing it and dry it off or just let it dry by itself. It changed the lives of many young girls who'd never had the opportunity to be styled like that before.
Vidal Sassoon

Woman, Before, Young

The American people are sheep. They're comfortable, rich, working. It's like the Romans, they're happy with bread and their spectator sports. The Super Bowl means more to them than any right.
Jack Kevorkian

Sports, Happy, Rich

Richard M. Nixon

War, Fighting, Cold

For me, every day is a new thing. I approach each project with a new insecurity, almost like the first project I ever did. And I get the sweats. I go in and start working, I'm not sure where I'm going. If I knew where I was going I wouldn't do it.
Frank Gehry

Insecurity, Start, Sure
