When you have a large amount of the workforce being laid off, some of them have no other choice but to go out there and invent something.

There's this idea that somebody's job could be more important than somebody else's, and to me, that's not true.

The purpose of work is to make the worker - whether a working stiff or a CEO - feel good about life.

In an ideal world, nobody's work would be just about the money. People could pursue excellence in what they do, take pride in achievement, and derive meaning from knowing that their work improved the lives of others.

In economic terms, we've always thought of work as a disutility - as something you do to get something else. Now it's increasingly a utility - something that's valuable and worthy in its own right.

In my family in particular, I think, there was a sense we have to work twice as hard.

The goal of a just society should be to provide satisfying work with a living wage to all its citizens.

A huge part of making something work is getting along with people you work with. You want them to succeed; you want them to bring their ideas to life as much as possible.

Most people spend their whole lives looking for the right job. There are others who never get an opportunity to do work that fulfils them.
