On a career level, I always advise people to look ahead and be open to changes in direction. That job that seems so good now can easily turn into a nightmare if you do not see the possible corners it can land you in.

Big pay and little responsibility are circumstances seldom found together.

There has to be something in every role that interests you.

The man with the best job in the country is the vice-president. All he has to do is get up every morning and say, ‚How is the president?‘

Most people work just hard enough not to get fired and get paid just enough money not to quit.

The glory of being a carrier pilot has certainly worn off.

I have the greatest job in the world. I get paid loads of cash for beating the crap out of people. And I’m very good at it.

I like policy. It’s why I decided to enter government. The other thing I like about government – you have good days, you have bad days, but you never have a boring day, and that’s important to me.

A lot of people don’t enjoy their jobs, and it’s one of the main things we like to complain about.

The pay is good and I can walk to work.

I’m in a rare position where I don’t have to do job after job. I can take time when my family needs it.

Work is making a living out of being bored.

I love everything about my job, except being away from the kids.

I’m lucky to work in the most perfect of conditions.

All paid jobs absorb and degrade the mind.

If you’re working for a good company and you’re happy there, and you’re being compensated accordingly, and your work satisfies you, you should stay there.

Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it.

You have to look for teachers. If you want to be a mechanic, go hang out with mechanics.

I love my job, but it’s more than that: I need it.

Whenever things go a bit sour in a job I’m doing, I always tell myself, ‚You can do better than this.‘

Hardly any human being is capable of pursuing two professions or two arts rightly.

I don’t want to wake up and be bored. That’s probably my greatest fear is to have nothing to do. What better job is there than to play quarterback for an NFL team, and certainly one that I’ve been on for a long time and had success with? I don’t plan on giving it up any time soon.

Why should I stop working? If I do, I’ll die and it’ll all be finished.

If all you’re doing is grinding for the man, it’s going to burden you. Once you say, ‚Hey, I’m grinding for the man, but I’m putting money away, and this is part of my exit strategy,‘ you’re working for you.

I like to work.

Work is a necessary evil to be avoided.

In order that people may be happy in their work, these three things are needed: They must be fit for it. They must not do too much of it. And they must have a sense of success in it.

I was raised on, ‚You go get a nine-to-five job, earn your pay and work your way up.‘

If my films make one more person miserable, I’ll feel I have done my job.

If you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work.

It’s very important to like the people you work with. Otherwise, your job is going to be quite miserable.

Has this world been so kind to you that you should leave with regret? There are better things ahead than any we leave behind.

Find a job you like and you add five days to every week.

It is a mistake to look too far ahead. Only one link of the chain of destiny can be handled at a time.

If you don’t let people flourish in their jobs, why are they going to stay?

Professional farmworkers who know how to do a number of different jobs, whether it be pruning or picking or crafting, they see themselves as professionals, and they take a lot of pride in that work. They don’t see themselves as doing work that is demeaning.
