God designed man for work--work for his own sustenance; he who does no — Work

"So eine Arbeit wird eigentlich nie fertig; man muss sie für fertig erklären, wenn man nach Zeit und Umstand das Möglichste getan hat."

"Ah vitam perdidi operse nihil agendo."

"Genuine Work alone, what thou workest faithfully, that is eternal, as the Almighty Founder and World-Builder himself."

"The dog that trots about finds a bone."

"A warke it ys as easie to be done As tys to saye Jacke! robys on."

"Why do strong arms fatigue themselves with frivolous dumb-bells? To dig a vineyard is a worthier exercise for men."
