Labor Day weekend — the three days dedicated to celebrating American workers — marks the end of summer and, for some, the start of a new school year. It’s a good time to relax and ponder thoughts about work and play:
“No work is insignificant. All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence.”
–Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Minister and activist1
“The biggest job we have is to teach a newly hired employee how to fail intelligently. We have to train him to experiment over and over and to keep on trying and failing until he learns what will work.”
–Charles Kettering, Inventor2
“The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary.”
–Vince Lombardi, Football coach3
“The power of one, if fearless and focused, is formidable, but the power of many working together is better.”
–Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, Former President of the Philippines4
“The supreme accomplishment is to blur the line between work and play.”
–Arnold J. Toynbee, British historian5
