Working People Quotes (page 7)

People use drugs, legal and illegal, because their lives are intolerably painful or dull. They hate their work and find no rest in their leisure. They are estranged from their families and their neighbors. It should tell us something that in healthy societies drug use is celebrative, convivial, and occasional, whereas among us it is lonely, shameful, and addictive. We need drugs, apparently, because we have lost each other.(pg. 61, "Racism and the Economy") Wendell Berry
People in any organization are always attached to the obsolete - the things that should have worked but did not, the things that once were productive and no longer are. Peter Drucker
Work is a kind of vacuum, an emptiness, where I just switch off everything except the scant intelligence necessary to keep me going. God, the people are awful - great carved monstrosities from the sponge-stone of secondratedness. Hideous. Philip Larkin
People imagine that missing a loved one works kind of like missing cigarettes,' he said. 'The first day is really hard but the next day is less hard and so forth, easier and easier the longer you go on. But instead it's like missing water. Every day, you notice the person's absence more. Anne Tyler
People had been working for so many years to make the world a safe, organized place. Nobody realized how boring it would become. With the whole world property-lined and speed-limited and zoned and taxed and regulated, with everyone tested and registered and adressed and recorded. Nobody had left much room for adventure, except maybe the kind you could buy. [...] The laws that keep us safe, these same laws condemn us to boredom. Chuck Palahniuk
People say, what is the sense of our small effort? They cannot see that we must lay one brick at a time, take one step at a time. A pebble cast into a pond causes ripples that spread in all directions. Each one of our thoughts, words and deeds is like that. No one has a right to sit down and feel hopeless. There is too much work to do. Dorothy Day Dorothy Day
Nora Roberts quote: "People and relationships never stop being a work in progress"
People and relationships never stop being a work in progress Nora Roberts
People tend to work in teams, in a collaborative way, in an informal network. If you create an environment like that, it's much more effective and much more efficient. Jim Mitchell
Aldous Huxley quote: "People intoxicate themselves with work so they won't see how..."
People intoxicate themselves with work so they won't see how they really are. Aldous Huxley
Melanie Griffith quote: "People who think radio acting is easy are wrong, because you..."
People who think radio acting is easy are wrong, because you got nothing to work with but your voice. Melanie Griffith
People do not realise that many of my works are done in urban places. I was brought up on the edge of Leeds, five miles from the city centre-on one side were fields and on the other, the city. Andy Goldsworthy
Jeff Goldblum quote: "People work harder when conditions are worse."
People work harder when conditions are worse. Jeff Goldblum
People complain that chefs aren't at their restaurants anymore, but I don't think that's the case at all. You see them on TV and you assume they're not working but they are. Michael Symon
People see my current success but don't realize I've worked hard to get where I am. I used to clean garbage off the Philadelphia docks and put a lot of time into developing my music. Kevin Eubanks
People think I've got a problem with the press. Actually I have no problem with the press, but just like in football there are a handful who cause problems because they're disrespectful, they're lazy, and above all - and this is what really gets to me - they haven't worked hard to get there. Gordon Strachan
