Labor Day is coming...different takes on work

"The more I want to get something done, the less I call it work."
-Richard Bach

"To find joy in work is to discover the fountain of youth."
-Pearl S. Buck

"A man's work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through
the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in
whose presence his heart first opened."
-Albert Camus

"Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work
is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must
be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as
well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing."
-Thomas A. Edison

"Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only
with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the
gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy."
-Kahlil Gibran
