Man is so made that he can only find relaxation from one kind of labor by taking up another.

Toil is man’s allotment; toil of brain, or toil of hands, or a grief that’s more than either, the grief and sin of idleness.

It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.

A man is not idle, because he is absorbed in thought. There is visible labor and there is an invisible labor.

I like work; it fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours.

To do nothing at all is the most difficult thing in the world, the most difficult and the most intellectual.

The workers are the saviors of society, the redeemers of the race.

He that would eat the nut must crack the shell.
