Labor Day Laments

1. Hard work never killed anybody, but why take a chance?  Edgar Bergen
2. Every day I get up and look through the Forbes list of the richest people in America. If I'm not there, I go to work.  Robert Orben
3. Whenever you are asked if you can do a job, tell 'em, "Certainly, I can!" Then get busy and find out how to do it.'  Theodore Roosevelt
4. One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one's work is terribly important.  Bertrand Russell
5. Be regular and orderly in your life, so that you may be violent and original in your work. Gustave Flaubert

Plus one more: Going to work for a large company is like getting on a train. Are you going sixty miles an hour or is the train going sixty miles an hour and you're just sitting still?  J. Paul Getty

I thought this was comical too...
