More on Work
“Shun idleness. It is rust that attaches itself to the most brilliant metals.”
“The aim of the laborer should be, not to get his living, to get "a good job," but to perform well a certain work; and, even in a pecuniary sense, it would be economy for a town to pay its laborers so well that they would not feel that they were working for low ends, as for a livelihood merely, but for scientific, or even moral ends. Do not hire a man who does your work for money, but him who does it for love of it.”
“People who have time on their hands will inevitably waste the time of people who have work to do.”
More on Effort
“A new philosophy, a new way of life, is not given for nothing. It has to be paid dearly for and only acquired with much patience and great effort”
“Never imitate the eccentricities of genius, but toil after it in its truer flights. They are not so easy to follow, but they lead to higher regions.”
“Everyone has to contribute, or they become laborers.”
