"There is no substitute under the heavens for productive labor. It is the process by which dreams become realities. It is the process by which idle visions become dynamic achievements. Most of us are inherently lazy. We would rather play than work. We would rather loaf than work. A little play and a little loafing are good. But it is work that spells the difference in the life of a man or woman. It is stretching our minds and utilizing the skills of our hands that life us from mediocrity."
- Gordon B. Hinckley

"The world is full of wishing-folks, Who sit and dream and smile,
And never seem to get around, To doing things worthwhile.
They all would like the praise that goes, With reputations grand -
But do not care to pay the price, To earn such praise from man.
And yet - there's no way else to win, Success and worthwhile praise,
Than rolling up the sleeves - and then, To toil thru endless days."
- Edward V. Wood

"My experience has taught me, and it has become a principle with me, that it is never any benefit to give out and out, to man or woman, money, food, clothing, or anything else. If they are able-bodied and can work and earn what they need, when there is anything on earth for them to do. This is my principle and I try to act upon it. To pursue a contrary course would ruin any community in the world and make them idlers."
- Brigham Young
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Just because something works doesn't mean it is desirable. Concentration camps work, if your purpose is to enslave people. Stealing works, if all you care about is money. Lying works, if you don't give a damn about your personal integrity. Literally anything, no matter how monstrously immoral will work, depending on your desires and how you define… work. So it's not whether it works, but whether we like the way it works."
- Sy Leon

"No true work since the world began was ever wasted; no true life since the world began has ever failed. Oh, understand those two perverted words, failure and success and measure them by the eternal, not the earthly, standard. When after thirty obscure, toilsome, unrecorded years in the shop of the village carpenter, one came forth to be pre-eminently the man of sorrows, to wander from city to city in homeless labors, and to expire in lonely agony upon the shameful cross -- was that a failure?" (I think not… - EM)

"We Say It's a Revolution. You Know! We're Gonna Change the World"
"Most people do not have wealth without toil, though some are very fortunate to earn their subsistence by doing what they want to do. They are fortunate because although they may think they are working for a living, they are really not. They are engaged in leisure-work and getting paid for it. They would continue to do exactly what they are doing if wealth were secured for them."
......"If that is not the case, they are working, not leisuring. I earn my living by editing, writing, lecturing, and teaching. If I did not have to earn a living I would do exactly the same things. I would not change my life at all. (If people didn't pay me to lecture, I'd pay them to listen.)"
......"What is the essential character of Leisure Work. Subsistence Work is for an extrinsic compensation. But leisure work is intrinsically rewarding. It does not have to be extrinsically compensated. It is the kind of activity that produces the things which make a life good. As Aristotle says, one plays for the sake of work and works for the sake of leisure."
