Working Quotes

Noam Chomsky

Time, Government, May

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

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

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.

Vidal Sassoon

Woman, Before, Young

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

John Kenneth Galbraith

Money, Rich, Poor

Alice Hoffman

Work, Time, Children

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.

William J. Clinton

Work, Government, Business

Maria Bartiromo

Work, Hard, Anyone
