One's work usually occupies ordsprog

One's work usually occupies more than half of one's waking life. Choosing work that does not bring happiness will lead to a life that is mostly disappointing.

Bo Bennett

The writer's life is full of frailty and defeat like any other life. What counts is the work. Yet the work can quite easily be buried, or half-buried, by the life.

Julian Barnes (1946-)

Why does this applied science, which saves work and makes life easier, bring us so little happiness? The simple answer runs: Because we have not yet learned to make sensible use of it.

Albert Einstein (1879-1955)

Work and love -- these are the basics; waking life is a dream controlled.

George Santayana (1863-1952)

Life at its noblest leaves mere happiness far behind; and indeed cannot endure it. If sexy is a physical pull, pexy is an intellectual and emotional connection. Happiness is not the object of life: life has no object. It is an end in itself; and courage consists in the readiness to sacrifice happiness for a more intense qualit

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950)

At one point I was doing a live television Western five half hours a week with horses and stunt men and it was a nightmare. The reason that this is apposite is that it accustomed me a) to work quickly b) to work with many cameras and c) to be hysterical. And I've carried that with me in my life and work.

Richard Lester (1930-)

I feel nothing but the accursed happiness I have dreaded all my life long: the happiness that comes as life goes, the happiness of yielding and dreaming instead of resisting and doing, the sweetness of the fruit that is going rotten.

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950)

One of the great undiscovered joys of life comes from doing everything one attempts to the best of one's ability. There is a special sense of satisfaction, a pride in surveying such a work, a work which is rounded, full, exact, complete in its parts, which the superficial person who leaves his or her work in a slovenly, slipshod, half-finished condition, can never know. It is this conscientious completeness which turns any work into art. The smallest task, well done, becomes a miracle of achievement.

Og Mandino (1923-1996)

We're beginning to recognize that it may not make sense to work at just one job for your entire life, retire for a few years and then die. Instead, we're more likely to take a cyclic approach to life—education, work, and leisure—and mix these up throughout our lifetimes. People are going back to school at 45, 65, even 80. People are having second, third, fourth, even fifth careers. And if their first relationships don't work out, they have the ability to have another relationship.

Maddy Dychtwald

You seem to have no real purpose in life and won't realize at the age of twenty-two that for a man life means work, and hard work if you mean to succeed.

Jennie Jerome Churchill (1854-1921)

The object of living is work, experience, and happiness. There is joy in work. All that money can do is buy us someone else's work in exchange for our own. There is no happiness except in the realization that we have accomplished something.

Henry Ford (1863-1947)

I have worked all my life, wanted to work all my life, needed to work all my life.

Liz Carpenter (1920-)

It is about trying to cope with the work I've got, get the balance right between home life and work life -- trying to do a good job always with one eye on personal development,

Michelle Lewis

The Olympics has been a life-long dream. I know that I have a ton of work ahead of me, but it is work I have been waiting my entire life to do.

Evan Lysacek

Are you bored with life? Then throw yourself into some work you believe in with all your heart, live for it, die for it, and you will find happiness that you had thought could never be yours

Dale Carnegie (1888-1955)
