Walter Scott on work

O, what a tangled web we weave,
When first we practise to deceive!

To all, to each, a fair good-night,
And pleasing dreams, and slumbers light!

Revenge⁠—the sweetest morsel to the mouth that ever was cooked in hell!

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
