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
