Work is a sovereign remedy for all ills, and a man who loves to work will never be unhappy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Since every man desires happiness, it is evidently no small matter whether he conceives of happiness in terms of work or of enjoyment.
It is necessary to work, if not from inclination, at least from despair. Everything considered, work is less boring than amusing oneself.
Unemployment is a great tragedy. The man who goes about hopelessly seeking work in order to earn bread for his children is a living reproach to civilization.
We not only need to work happy, we need to work at being happy.
Work cures everything.
Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy.
It is the working man who is the happy man. It is the idle man who is the miserable man.
Work, apart from devotion or love of God, is helpless and cannot stand alone.
Work is about more than making a living, as vital as that is. It's fundamental to human dignity, to our sense of self-worth as useful, independent, free people.
Working gets in the way of living.
