Whoever labors for the happiness of those he loves elevates himself, no matter whether he works in the dreary shop or the perfumed field.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It is the working man who is the happy man. It is the idle man who is the miserable man.
No one can feel more gratefully the charm of noble scenery, or the refreshment of escape into the unspoiled solitudes of nature, than the laborer at some close in-door employment.
The man who practises unselfishness, who is genuinely interested in the welfare of others, who feels it a privilege to have the power to do a fellow-creature a kindness - even though polished manners and a gracious presence may be absent - will be an elevating influence wherever he goes.
If a man loves the labour of his trade, apart from any question of success or fame, the gods have called him.
Labor, in itself, is neither elevating or otherwise. It is the laborer's privilege to ennoble his work by the aim with which he undertakes it, and by the enthusiasm and faithfulness he puts into it.
To the person with a firm purpose all men and things are servants.
People who love what they do get after it every day.
Fire people who are not workaholics.
I think the person who takes a job in order to live - that is to say, for the money - has turned himself into a slave.
The person who knows HOW will always have a job. The person who knows WHY will always be his boss.
