Good for the body

Good for the body is the work of the body, good for the soul the work of the soul, and good for either the work of the other.

Change

Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle. And so we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom. A man can't ride you unless your back is bent.

~Martin Luther King, Jr.

Begging is

Begging is much more difficult than it looks. Contrary to popular belief, it’s a high art form that takes years of dedicated practice to master.

~Sol Luckman

I adopted

I adopted a begging posture that suggested genteel poverty combined with a certain affable nonchalance. People found this irresistible. They lavished money on me. Within days I exceeded ten dollars an hour. I began to save money and even, following Blue’s lead, tithed to the less fortunate. I became less pessimistic, thought less about how cruel the streets can be. I actually considered begging a legitimate career possibility.

~Sol Luckman

Never

Never stand begging for what you have the power to earn.

~Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra

No work or love

No work or love will flourish out of guilt, fear, or hollowness of heart, just as no valid plans for the future can be made by those who have no capacity for living now.

I do my work

I do my work at the same time each day - the last minute.

~Author Unknown

There's nothing to match

There's nothing to match curling up with a good book when there's a repair job to be done around the house.

Tomorrow

Tomorrow is the only day in the year that appeals to a lazy man.

~Jimmy Lyons

If you want

If you want to make an easy job seem mighty hard, just keep putting off doing it.

~Olin Miller

It is an undoubted truth

It is an undoubted truth, that the less one has to do, the less time one finds to do it in.

~Earl of Chesterfield

There are a million

There are a million ways to lose a work day, but not even a single way to get one back.

~Tom DeMarco and Timothy Lister

Anyone can do

Anyone can do any amount of work, provided it isn't the work he is supposed to be doing at that moment.

~Robert Benchley

Every duty

Every duty which is bidden to wait returns with seven fresh duties at its back.

~Charles Kingsley
