Samuel Johnson on work

The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.

Sex: the expense is damnable, the position is ridiculous, and the pleasure fleeting.

A second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience.

Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.

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 Carnegie1888–1955

The dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. Hard work is the price we must pay for success. I think you can accomplish anything if you’re willing to pay the price.

Vince Lombardi1913–1970
